The 143rd Battle of Zhanggushan
Wang Yaowu also said: "Time is urgent, we will soon have a meeting to study the battle to attack Zhanggushan, and we will also invite the chief of staff of the Republic of Korea to come and give guidance."
Han Xing was trying to find a way to attend their military conference to see what was the difference between the Kuomintang military conference and the military conference of the Southern Expeditionary Army. Wang Yaowu's invitation was exactly what he wanted, and he immediately said: "Listen to it, I just want to arrange the air force, and on the issue of coordination with the infantry, according to your deployment, I can also arrange it." ”
There is nothing special about the military meeting of the Kuomintang and the military meeting of the Southern Expeditionary Army, that is, it is around a long patchwork table, but there is no cloth on the table, but a large sand table, from which you can clearly see the shape of the mountains around Zhanggu Mountain, Dongling and Wanjialing, which is more intuitive than on the map.
In addition, most of the senior officers of the Kuomintang came out of military academies, which were relatively formal, and their sitting posture was also relatively standard. The sitting posture of the Southern Expeditionary Army is different, because most of them have not gone to military academies, so those who hold their cheeks, hunch their waists, twist their bodies, and even sit cross-legged on the bench, they are really in any posture.
Wang Yaowu, who was sitting at the top, first introduced the friendly army Han Xing, and everyone applauded. Then Wang Yaowu changed his head and said: "You are all brigade commanders, regiment commanders, and the main commanders of the 51st Division of my 74th Army. Now we are about to attack Zhanggushan, which is the point where our eastern and western armies are encircled, and it is also the place where the Japanese army must defend to the death. And what about this mountain? ”
Wang Yaowu pointed to the sand table on the table and said: "It is a slope of terrain, along this side of the slope, the Japanese army arranged layers of firepower points, broke through one layer, and there is another layer, it is estimated that in the process of attacking Zhanggu Mountain, it will inevitably pay a considerable price." Let's talk about it, how should this battle be fought? ”
Tang Shenghai, commander of the 153rd Regiment of the 305th Brigade, said: "There is another point, what should the Japanese air force do? ”
Han Xing, who was sitting at the head of Wang Yaowu's left, said: "As for the little devil's air force, our Southern Expeditionary Army must find a way to defeat it or drive him away, and we must not let them spread wild on our heads." ”
Tang Shenghai said happily: "Then I can rest assured, so that I can concentrate on fighting the little devils on the mountain." But as far as I know, the little devil guarding Zhang Gushan is a brigade, and there must be more than 1,000 people, even if you add casualties, there must be six or seven hundred people, and the task is still very heavy! ”
Listening to everyone discussing the war, Zhang Lingfu didn't say a word, just thinking quietly, waiting for everyone to discuss it. He interjected and said, "Division Commander Wang, this task of attacking Zhang Gushan will be handed over to our brigade!" ”
Wang Yaowu's eyes lit up and said, "So, Brigade Commander Zhang, tell me first, how are you going to fight this battle?" ”
Zhang Lingfu said unhurriedly: "Everyone has watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in order to capture Chengdu, Deng Ai, the general of Wei, took the Shu generals by surprise, led elite soldiers to secretly cross Yinping, flew over the Sky Ridge, and conquered the story of Jiangyou, Fucheng and Chengdu in one fell swoop. We can also follow this example, while the army attacks from the front, we also select a group of elite soldiers and strong generals to carry out a sneak attack from the back of the inaccessible Zhanggu Mountain, so as to achieve the effect of attacking from both sides. ”
"The back of Zhang Gushan is full of cliffs, can you go up?" Wang Yaowu asked.
"If you can't go up, you have to go up," Zhang Lingfu said firmly, "The front of Zhang Gushan is a slope, and the Japanese army has been prepared for a long time. I estimate that even if they attacked, they would have to lose three to five times more men than the enemy. But attacking from behind a cliff is different, even if you fall down and sacrifice 10 or 8, it's worth it. As soon as the battle starts in front, there will inevitably be no energy to take care of it in the back, so the chance of victory will be fifty percent. We don't want to make another feint, give the enemy another paralysis, and add two more layers of chances. ”
Listening to Zhang Lingfu explain his tactics like this, Han Xing couldn't help but nod secretly. It seems that this Zhang Lingfu is a person who knows how to strategize, and if this person can succeed now, he will definitely be my great enemy in the future.
After listening to Zhang Lingfu's tactical arrangement, Wang Yaowu thought it was feasible, nodded and encouraged Zhang Lingfu and said, "With my Brigade Commander Zhang, this battle has an eighty percent chance of winning." Okay, Brigade Commander Zhang, you sneak attack in the back, and leave the feint attack in front to me. Chief of Staff Han! ”
Han Xing hurriedly stood up and said to Wang Yaowu, "Senior Commander Wang, can you just say something about it?" ”
Wang Yaowu said: "You know our plan, whether we can win this battle or not, we all rely on the air force support of the Southern Expeditionary Army." ”
Han Xing nodded and said, "Don't worry, Senior Commander Wang, just when Brigade Commander Zhang is about to climb the top of Zhanggu Mountain, send us a signal flare, and we will carry out an air attack to blow up the little devils on the mountain." Then, with this bombardment, Brigade Commander Zhang led the team to rush up the mountain. ”
"Great!" Wang Yaowu shouted again, "This adds two more layers of chance to the sneak attack on Zhang Gushan." ”
Han Xingxin said that this is not a matter of two levels of odds, with the powerful bombing ability of the Y-8-transport aircraft, he can solve half of the little devils. That half, it is estimated that it is also stupid, and with this fire, it will save your bull energy! I think it's at least three to four floors of odds!
But these words, Han Xing can't say them, if he wants to say them, how disunited it is!
There is also a risky move, that is, a direct sneak attack by helicopter transporting troops, which is not impossible. First bombed with the Y-8 transport plane, and then directly led 12 Z-8 helicopters to fly up, and as soon as the heavy machine guns on the plane were suppressed, the commandos went down the soft ladder and slaughtered people.
However, this move is too sinister, and if there are no dead imps on the ground in the first place, and fire at the helicopter, the helicopter will suffer.
Therefore, this move is generally not usable by Han Xing.
At night, it was as dark as ink, and Zhang Lingfu personally set off lightly with a commando team of 500 people. These commandos were selected from the 153 Regiment of the 305 Brigade, don't go if you're afraid of death, don't go if you're sick, don't go if you're an only child, and go from all over the world, all of them are heroes who aren't afraid of death.
Han Xing also temporarily changed his mind, if he wanted to command well, he could only go to the battlefield in person, so he took the guard company, a few staff officers, and a radio station to advance together, so as to carry out infantry and air coordination.
After a day of noise, the depths of the mountain finally fell silent.
In the grass by the river, there will occasionally be a few happy frog chirping, and occasionally a few whispers of insects, as if it is a serenade played by nature for the commandos, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and the tension is gone.
The night was clear, the dark sky was dotted with stars, and they blinked mischievously, peeping at the secrets of the world. Occasionally, shooting stars streak across the night sky, adding a touch of ghost and vibrancy to the silent night.
Zhang Lingfu and Han Xing led the team to the back of Zhang Gushan, where it was quiet, without a sound, and occasionally, there were a few cricket calls.
Zhang Lingfu greeted him, and all the people squatted down, waiting for the attack on the mountain.
Suddenly, there was a loud gunfire on Zhang Gu Mountain, and the shouting of the 51st Division of the 74th Army came from the mountain, which was the attack of the feint troops led by Division Commander Wang Yaowu. Heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and medium formal rifles are like fried beans on the mountain, and they are simply indistinguishable.
The shouts of killing were getting closer and closer to the top of the hill, and the bullets of various guns were slicing behind the hill.
Suddenly, from the top of the mountain, there was the sound of the Type 38 rifle platoon gun, the sound was particularly crisp, and the devil's heavy machine gun also sounded, "......da-da", and the devil's crooked sub-machine gun also sounded, and occasionally there was the sound of the grenadier coming out, "all through-" and "all through-".
However, the 106th Division was faced with the situation of running out of ammunition and food, after all, the gunfire could not be too intense.
After a while, Division Commander Wang Yaowu led the feint troops to withdraw. There was a cheer from the battlefield, "Xiaoli! Yotachi! (Victory, victory.) "The Imperial Army is big, the Imperial Army is big!" "Xibai, Xibai, Xibai! (Failed)"
Han Xing said calmly to Staff Officer Zhang, "The air raid has begun—"
The tick-tock radio waves quickly spread into the air.
Just when the little devils were happy, suddenly, a huge "Blue Arrow 7" air-to-ground missile, coming from the sky, suddenly fell on the top of the little devils' heads.
This is also a temporary change in the tactics of Han Xing, and it is not impossible to bomb with a Y-8-transport plane, but there are still so many national troops in ambush behind Zhang Gushan, in case he is accidentally injured, it is difficult to say. Precision-guided missiles are often used in modern warfare, and the general error is half a meter, even if it is a little larger, even if it is two meters, it will not dream of dropping missiles behind a mountain.
The "Blue Arrow 7" Air Force tactical missile is similar to the American AGM-114 "Hellfire" missile, developed by China's North Industries Corporation, weighs 47 kilograms, has a maximum range of 7 kilometers, and adopts a semi-active laser guidance system, which is mainly equipped for combat use in airplanes and helicopters.
Why is it called Hellfire, because it is like a hellfire, the most powerful thing after the explosion of the missile is not the shock wave, not the broken shrapnel, but the high temperature generated after the explosion. Within more than 100 meters, it can produce a high temperature of several thousand degrees, and steel can be melted, not to mention human flesh.
Even if it was a fluke that more than 100 meters away, the blazing heat robbed a qiē of air, and people could only suffocate to death or the flames burrowed into their lungs, and they were burned to death and scalded.
It's really not a play, and the little devil in the neighborhood can only be a dead end.
Of course, the shock wave generated in the near distance caused the stones on the mountain to roll down continuously, and several people in Zhang Lingfu's sneak attack force were smashed to the point of bleeding.
However, compared to the situation of the little devil on the mountain, it is insignificant, the head is broken, and a little blood is dripping, what is this for a battle-hardened warrior?
Zhang Lingfu saw that the time had come, waved his hand towards the mountain, lowered his voice and shouted: "Up-"
The assault team had already prepared, and several warriors who were as light as monkeys carried ropes on their backs and began to climb the cliff.
Under the cover of night, they cut through thorns and thorns, clung to small bushes, or clung to crevices in rocks, and climbed up quickly. Some of their faces were cut, and some of their bare skin was cut one after another, but to the soldiers, this small injury was not an injury at all.
