Chapter 260: Fueling Tactics
Therefore, Zhang Cheng ordered commanders at all levels to go to the front and personally direct the battle, and the generals were not afraid of death, and the soldiers still had no reason not to fight hard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but in terms of troop deployment, he continued to use the "refueling tactics", after all, the devil's artillery fire is too powerful, all poured into the city wall, only to increase greater casualties, fortunately, there are enough machine guns in his hand, the Japanese army wants to break through this firepower network, it is not an easy thing, as long as the firepower can suppress the enemy, it will not be easy to increase troops.
Zhang Cheng always paid attention to the reservation of reserves, which was almost contrary to the practice of many generals of the national army during this period, they often liked to put all their forces out, so that it was good to encounter a smooth battle, and they could take down the enemy in one fell swoop, but if the war did not go well, or there was any other situation, there was no room for maneuver. Therefore, Zhang Cheng not only used refueling tactically, but even hid most of the remaining nearly 200 people in the assault battalion and the more than 1,000 people in the special combat team, leaving only 300 people to guard the west and south gates, once the Japanese army dared to kill through the city gate, these more than 300 AK-47s and dozens of rocket launchers were enough to make the Japanese army bleed in the narrow passage of the city gate.
In fact, it was really only the attack of the Japanese army on the west and south gates, and Zhang Cheng could still firmly believe that his troops could hold it, so that he could not rest assured that it was actually the north gate. Regardless of whether the Japanese army transferred troops from Fengxin or directly divided troops from the 13th Division, Zhang Cheng's strength would immediately be overstretched, and after this round of bombardment by the devils, it is estimated that the strength of the troops is less than one division, and the three divisions will be refused, not to mention the elongation of the battle line, and it will not have time to coordinate with each other. In addition, after a concentrated attack by heavy howitzers a few days ago, part of the northern city wall has collapsed, if the Japanese army attacks in the west and south gates are unfavorable, it is possible to turn the direction of the main attack to the north gate at any time, and now the troops deployed at the north gate, only the brigade commander of the third division with a regiment is guarded, although the enemy's movements have not been discovered yet, but Zhang Cheng knows that this time will not be too long.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Just when Zhang Chengzheng was worried about the north gate, there was a sudden violent bombing sound in the city, and even the air-raid shelter was buzzing, and some small cement blocks fell straight down.
"Fuck it, the devil's plane is here!" Zhang Cheng roared loudly, this kind of explosive power can only be done by the devil's heavy bombs, I can't imagine that the devil really looks up to himself, the two divisions and heavy artillery are not enough, and the plane is sent to help, and even in this dense smoke, the visibility is extremely low, and the devil really has a bloody investment.
"Sun Feixing, order the special combat team to carry a few machine guns, find a high position, and sweep him down!" Zhang Cheng said viciously.
"Yes, Commander! Special operations team, follow me! After Sun Feixing replied crisply, he left with the two special operations teams.
Zhang Cheng knew that if the devils wanted to fly in this smoke, they would definitely not choose to fly at a high altitude, because they had to see the target clearly and not throw the bombs on their own positions. It's a pity that these two divisions don't even have a single anti-aircraft machine gun, otherwise maybe they would have been able to take down one or two.
"No, I have to go out and have a look!" Zhang Cheng said and walked outside.
"No, Commander! It's almost twelve o'clock, and Division Commander Chen will soon launch an attack on Gao An, how can you leave the command headquarters, there are bursts of gunfire and rumbling artillery outside, even if there is a walkie-talkie, it may not be heard clearly, but you can't lose a big one because of a small one? As soon as Zhao Ziqing heard that Zhang Cheng was going out, he immediately stopped in front of him and said a lot of reason.
"Yes, Commander! No matter what, the whole battle situation is important, there are a few division commanders and brigade commanders outside to support it, and there must be no accidents for the time being! Said the chief of staff of the third division.
Because the division commanders no longer have a command headquarters, the chief of staff of the Third Division and the chief of staff of the Sixth Division were all arranged into Zhang Cheng's headquarters.
"Commander, do I think the devils are going to launch a general attack?" said the chief of staff of the sixth division.
"Oh! How do you say this? Hearing the chief of staff say this, Zhang Cheng stopped and turned around and said.
"Do you think, this city has been ploughed by the devil's heavy artillery, and the devil can't use planes to bomb it anymore, only the outer city wall has not been destroyed by the devil, this heavy aerial bomb must be aimed at the city wall, once the city wall is destroyed, the devil will not launch a general attack?" Ding Cheng said.
"Hmmm! Reasonable! Zhang Cheng replied, then picked up the walkie-talkie and asked Hu Rongda and Dong Yeyang about the situation in front.
Dong Yeyang's south gate was okay, the devil's attack was not strong, and the plane did not come at them. Hu Rongda's north gate was in trouble, and several aircraft bombs were almost dropped in the same area of the city wall, and a city wall was directly torn open a hole of nearly ten meters, and the devil's artillery fire was also very fierce, their casualties were very large, and two battalions had been added to the city wall. carried a few battle defense guns up, and only knocked out three tanks of the devil, and then they were all destroyed by the devil's shells and artillery and soldiers. But the soldiers fought very tenaciously, and the first batch of those who came up, except for the sacrifices, there were very few unwounded, basically bandaged them simply, and they were still fighting.
According to Zhang Cheng's previous deployment, now the entire force is only five regiments, one regiment went to the north gate, the other four regiments are divided into two gates, west and south, and each department leaves a regiment as a reserve, Hu Rongda's reserve has only one battalion left, and the main direction of attack of the devil must be the west gate, which is also in line with the deployment of the devil, because the heavy artillery of the 13th division is placed here, and there are even more than 20 tanks to fight together, and the situation of the main attack is obvious.
Zhang Cheng ordered Dong Yeyang to draw a battalion from the reserve regiment to replenish Hu Rongda's reserve regiment, and at the same time ordered Hu Rongda to let the devils in if they rushed through the gap in the city wall, and he was only responsible for the enemy who was attacking the city head-on.
Subsequently, Zhang Cheng ordered Yang Jie to quickly call Sun Feixing back.
As soon as Sun Feixing came in, he scolded and said that the devil is cunning, and almost all of the more than a dozen planes flew with the firing distance of the machine guns calculated, and they hit more than a dozen magazines, and they didn't even touch a single hair on the plane.
Zhang Wei never expected them to really sweep off the plane, but he held back a bad breath in his heart, and it was uncomfortable not to sweep a few bullets. As soon as Sun Feixing came in, Zhang Chengcheng ordered him and Zhang Sandong to take the special combat team and assault company that had been replenished, and cooperate with more than 100 special combat team members of the West Gate, to ambush on both sides to hold the gap between the West Gate and the collapsed city wall. As a last resort, Zhang Cheng didn't want to use Jiang Bin and them.
