At the forward command post of the Third Army of the Feng Army in Hanzhuang Town, Guo Songling, deputy commander of the Third Army of the Feng Army, stood in the bunker observation position and used a high-powered telescope to observe the position of the Sixth Division on the opposite side.

A week ago, Zhang Zongchang reported to Zhang Dashuai that he couldn't fight anymore, and whoever liked to go south to Jiangsu would go. Zhang Dashuai was very surprised, it's only been a few days? can beat the always arrogant Zhang Zongchang out of temper, the kid surnamed Gao is not weak.

At a high-level meeting held within the Feng army, a gang of bandits wanted to get a place for themselves. Jiang Dengxuan, Yang Yuting, and Guo Songling all wanted to go, and after a quarrel, Guo Songling, who performed well in the Shanhaiguan Battle with the strong support of Zhang Xueliang, got this opportunity.

However, although the Feng army has hundreds of thousands of troops, at least half of them have to stay in their hometown in the northeast to watch the Japanese and Lao Maozi, and Zhang Dashuai is not at ease at all.

The troops that entered the customs were scattered to Rehe, Zhili, Shandong, Chahar and other places. In addition, Feng Yuxiang's national army has to keep an eye on Suiyuan, Yan Xishan in Shanxi, and the remnants of the direct army in Henan, and Guo Songling can only bring two divisions to the front line of Zaozhuang, which Zhang Xueliang deliberately takes care of. Yang Yuting and the others didn't say anything on the surface, and they were desperately trying to put on small shoes for him in private.

"Damn, what's going on at noon?" Seeing that the dining truck that drove directly to the position on the opposite side began to distribute lunch, Guo Songling scolded enviously. In this era, everyone eats two meals a day, and there is no reason that there is not enough food to eat.

When he first arrived in Zaozhuang three days ago, Guo Songling went to the front line position in Taierzhuang to observe the attack of Zhang Zongchang's department.

Not to mention three meals a day, Guo Songling's eyelids jumped when he was fighting and splashing water as if he had to shoot and set off a cannon. Although Fengjun has its own Fengtian Arsenal, he has never seen such a waste. WHAT GUO SONGLING SAW WITH HIS OWN EYES WAS JUST AN OFFENSIVE OF TWO OR THREE HUNDRED PEOPLE, AND THE OPPOSITE SIDE ACTUALLY USED 105MM HEAVY ARTILLERY TO FIGHT TWO ROUNDS! How much does this Nima cost for a cannonball!

The troops in the south are so fierce? I heard that the other side is still a unit formed by the security regiment. Guo Songling thought that even a security regiment in the south was so strong, and Lao Tzu would not do anything to supervise the army in Jiangsu, so he immediately took off his military uniform and went back to Fengtian to open a grocery store.

Guo Songling has been in the army for many years and has been fighting for many years, and after observing the battle situation in Zhang Zongchang's department for a day, he understood that it was impossible to break through head-on on the front line of Taierzhuang. After returning to his headquarters, Guo Songling pondered on the map for a long time and finally found a loophole, Weishan Lake.

The defense line of the Sixth Division only reached the edge of Weishan Lake, and the line close to Weishan Lake was mostly vigilant troops, except for the large number of troops near Hanzhuang Bridge.

Guo Songling planned to use the ice plough, the winter vehicle of the Northeast people, to attack the rear of the Hanzhuang Bridge from the flank through the frozen Weishan Lake, and then advance all the way along the Jinpu Line to Xuzhou after seizing the Hanzhuang Bridge. As for the troops of the Sixth Division on the front line of Taierzhuang, Zhang Zongchang watched it, and if he dared to return to Xuzhou, he would attack Zhang Zongchang back and forth.

After the plan was demarcated, Guo Songling was very satisfied, and after Meimei slept for a while, she began to secretly mobilize troops to march towards Hanzhuang Bridge the next day. On the 28th day of the third day, Guo Songling's troops launched a tentative attack on Hanzhuang Bridge to probe the firepower deployment of the Sixth Division and attract attention. After breakfast, thousands of elite soldiers took a plough and detoured to Weishan Lake towards the rear of the Hanzhuang Bridge position.

I have to say that Guo Songling still has a hand in fighting, and under normal circumstances, this trick is done. It is a pity that it was seen through in less than two hours in front of the German staff officers who had fought in the European war for several years, and the frontal feint attack and flank assault were what the German army often did.

Lieutenant Colonel Beagle quickly mobilized the reserves in Xuzhou City, and a whole battalion marched by car to the Hanzhuang Bridge position. THE DIVISIONAL ARTILLERY REGIMENT HAS A BATTALION OF 12 105MM HOWITZERS THAT CAN PROVIDE FIRE SUPPORT, AND GUO SONGLING FAILED TO UNDERSTAND GAOYANG'S STRENGTH CLEARLY, AND TOOK IT FOR GRANTED THAT GAOYANG CONCENTRATED THE MAIN ARTILLERY ON THE FRONT-LINE POSITION IN TAIERZHUANG.

Gao Yang bit the hot steamed bun and lay on the telescope to observe the opposite bank. The Feng army on the opposite side did not have any horse team, and they were dressed in uniform tactical action standards, at least they knew how to bend over and trot when they walked.

Unlike Zhang Zongchang's subordinates, who seemed to be afraid that the enemy would not see them, their waists were straight and loud. However, it has been improved in the past few days, and the front line reports that there are generally no figures in the opposite position, and all the figures are huddled in the trenches.

The German mercenaries led the sharpshooters trained in the unit to teach the bandits of Zhangbu a vivid lesson, and they were named by the sharpshooters who dangled around with their waists straight. Those who are loud and noisy will be greeted by shells, and later hiding in the trenches at night and smoking will attract a shell!

Now the front-line position of Zhang Zongchang's department is quiet, and he can't even see a ghost, all of them are huddled in the trenches, and their morale is already very low.

After lunch, Beagle led reinforcements to arrive and immediately took over the command of the scene, which was Gao Yang's order. One by one, the search troops were dispatched to conduct a fan-shaped search within three kilometers of the direction of Weishan Lake with the Hanzhuang Bridge position as the center. Why three kilometers? First of all, visibility was not high on snowy days, and then artillery positions, which were mainly for fire support, had the farthest coverage of three kilometers to Weishan Lake.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, there was a faint sound of gunfire on the ice of Weishan Lake in the distance, and it became louder and louder. At this time, the command received a report that a large number of enemy troops were rapidly rushing towards the main position on the ice of Weishan Lake behind the Hanzhuang Bridge position, about two kilometers from the shore. Beagle quickly ordered the support artillery to adjust the parameters, calculate the shelling coverage and wait for the order.

At this time, the Feng army on the opposite side of the position also began to move, and thousands of soldiers with cats and waists rushed along the river to the position of the first battalion in several columns, while at the same time, on the railway bridge, a dozen armored cars quickly drove up to the bridge deck, followed by a large number of infantry. At the same time, the sound of cannon bang rang out, and a large number of shells exploded on the positions of the first battalion.

The corners of Gao Yang's mouth curled, "The tactical coordination is good, the artillery covers the infantry charge, there are flanking and suppressing, and there are armored troops, and they are really the elite of the Feng army." Learn the tactics of the Japanese decently. ”

"Division, this place is already within the range of the enemy's shelling, please take refuge in the reserve command post." Zhang Xinhai, the commander of the first battalion, came to Gao Yang's side and said. Zhang Xinhai was one of the few non-German full-time commanders in the Sixth Division, and German mercenaries generally held the main positions in the Sixth Division.

He is a graduate of Baoding Military Academy, served in the 13th Division after graduation, has been a battalion commander, a few years ago left the army to return to Anqing's hometown to do business, Gao Yang after the army defected to Gao Yang, in the battle of the attack on Nanjing, excellent performance, recommended by the staff office to serve as the commander of the second regiment and the first battalion.

"You can't hold it?" Gao Yang glanced at him and said. "Hold your ground." Zhang Xinhai was anxious and said loudly. Gao Yang waved his hand, "Go and do your own thing." He turned his head and continued to observe the battlefield.

Beagle didn't pay attention to this, in the German army, it was normal for the division commander to go deep into the front-line regimental headquarters and battalion headquarters during the war, of course, if the division commander ran to the company, then he would have stopped it.

As soon as the battle began, the soldiers on the battlefield knew that the division commander was behind him, and it was the time when morale was high, and if he ran away as soon as he started fighting Gaoyang, it would definitely deal a major blow to the morale of the soldiers.

The action of the Feng army was not long and the skirmish line rushed to the ice, and the officers and men of the first battalion of blocking positions silently endured the shelling in the trenches, waiting for the order to open fire. It was the first time since the formation of the army that it was suppressed by enemy artillery fire.

Soon the Feng troops rushed across the middle line of the canal, and with a shout, a series of gunfire suddenly rang out on the position of the battalion, and the Feng troops who rushed to the front fell down in a row. Guo Songling's eyelids jumped as he watched the battle from the rear, his marksmanship was too accurate, and the results of a large number of live-fire training in the past few months were finally shown.

The Bong troops behind were still advancing rapidly, and the machine gun fire points on the positions of the first battalion were not fired, and they were waiting for the Bong troops on the bridge to enter the range of machine gun side fire.

Soon, when the Feng troops on the bridge entered the side-firing range, dozens of firing points opened fire almost simultaneously, and the 11.43 mm caliber bullets turned the armored car into a hornet's nest, and in a short time, more than a dozen cars were all lying on their stomachs.

The infantry following the armored car was then knocked down like wheat by the powerful side-fire fire, and even lying on the bridge deck could not necessarily avoid the rain of bullets. Soon the infantry turned around and fled, the trailing bullets leaving corpses on the bridge.

After the Feng troops on the bridge were pushed back, the heavy machine guns turned their guns and began to fire at the skirmish line that was already close to the shore, at which time hundreds of Feng troops were about to rush across the canal, but suddenly they were hit by heavy machine gun fire, and they were immediately killed and wounded.

Guo Songling hurriedly ordered the Feng army, which was covering the front line, to retreat, but it was easy to come and it was difficult to go back. Running back and forth on slippery ice twice? Not to mention the physical strength, how can you run through this empty ice of several hundred meters under the fierce guns of the enemy?

The artillery positions of the Feng army received strict orders to support the front-line troops at full speed, and the artillerymen began to fire frantically at the positions on the opposite shore regardless of the life of the barrels.

But it didn't take long for a terrible whistling sound to be heard in the sky. Three large-caliber shells kicked up countless dust near the artillery position, and the artillery of the Feng army was excited: "Oh no, the shells are test-fired!" "It's all artillery units, and these procedures are well understood.

More than a dozen large-caliber shells turned the people who bombed the artillery positions of the Fengjun army, several cannons were lifted into the sky, and the shells piled up on the side of the artillery were also detonated, and the continuous detonation of the artillery positions plunged the artillery positions into a sea of fire.

A battalion of the artillery regiment of the 6th Division, with 12 105mm howitzers, carried out a fierce artillery bombardment of the Feng troops attacking on Weishan Lake in the previous battle, blasting countless huge ice caves on the ice. Hundreds of Feng troops were sent to the bottom of the lake, and the remnants of the Feng army fled in disarray.

The artillery of the Feng army in the frontal position has been firing non-stop for a long time, and the position of the position has long been estimated. After the artillery of the 6th Division adjusted its muzzles to lock on to the position, there was no time for counterattack and evacuation at all. The artillery position of the Feng army was in a sea of fire, and the huge explosions scattered parts and limbs everywhere, and the billowing smoke soared into the sky!
