Chapter 891: Threat from the North
After finding out the situation of the devils in Pengze County, Liu Ruye was full of confidence, and immediately deployed several sets of action plans, and arranged for his subordinate officers, so that the brothers could have a good rest first, and then attack the devil's position after dark.
The sky soon darkened, the gunfire on the side of Madang Fortress and Xiangkou Position was still fierce as usual, the main force of the Botian detachment under the continuous bombardment of the artillery fire of the devil warships on the Yangtze River, continuously launched waves of tidal landing attacks on the Chinese army position, Captain Bao shouted into the telephone in the underground command post and his voice was almost hoarse, and the news of the landing of the devil infantry continued to come from the front, as well as the huge casualties of the forward troops. made Captain Bao, who hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights, almost unable to bear it.
At this moment, suddenly the subordinate in charge of the northern position of the fortress called and said: "Oh no, captain! In front of our position, we found a large number of devil infantry, with tanks and armored vehicles, numbering tens of thousands! ”
Hearing this, Captain Bao's body shook suddenly, and he fell to the side, if it wasn't for the quick action of the cronie next to him, Lao Bao would have fallen to the ground heavily at this time.
This news is undoubtedly a heavy blow to him, the front of the fortress is already a little unbearable, and now there is a main force of tens of thousands of devils suddenly appearing in the back, and there are tanks and armored vehicles, how can this be stopped?
"Send a report to Chief Han immediately and ask him to come to the fortress to discuss!" After Captain Bao stood firm, he said to his cronies that at this time, he could no longer bear such a burden alone, so he had to find Han Fei to discuss what to do next? There seems to be no better way to do this.
After Han Fei received the message from Captain Bao, he was not much surprised, the Fujii Brigade in the north finally appeared near Madang Fortress, and the **** troops around them watched the commander of this devil brigade drive straight in, without even symbolic resistance, it seems that they chose to dodge and escape in order to keep their own establishment, and Madang Fortress is about to fall into a multi-faceted dilemma.
In the absence of extra troops at hand, Han Fei can't think of any other way, unless the sixteenth army closest to here is under the command of Han Fei, it is possible to withstand the siege of the Hatian devils and Fujii devils, otherwise Han Fei will also lack the skills to return to the sky.
Since Lao Bao asked for help, Han Fei felt that he still had to go, although the Fujii devils in the north had already come to the city, but their danger to Madang Fortress was still not as good as the Botian devils who attacked head-on, if Liu Ruye and they could regain Pengze County before the main force of the devils, then there was still hope for a game of victory in the battle here.
Han Fei just took a few staff officers to cross the river in gunboats, and the devil ships on the river gathered in groups on the wide river, desperately firing cannonballs at the positions of the Chinese troops on both sides of the river, and the huge cannonballs smashed on the shore and beach, rising up clouds of smoke and dazzling firelight, which were even more eye-catching and dazzling in the dark night, and the sound of "booming" explosions came and went one after another, and the water column on the Yangtze River near Madang was monstrous, and the huge waves were rolling. The small gunboat that Han Fei and the others were riding in was staggered and swayed incessantly.
Enduring the feeling of vomiting, Han Fei gritted his teeth, and finally drove to the edge of the dock near Madang Fortress after an hour, and the captain of the team who got the signal immediately sent out a small boat to meet him, the channel here is full of all kinds of mines and reefs, if there is no guide from the brothers of the river defense corps on the dock, it is very likely that the gunboat will touch the mines and hit the reef.
Captain Bao was waiting for Han Fei at the door of the command post early, and when he saw Han Fei coming, he hurriedly reached a thousand, held his hand and said again and again: "Chief Han, it's terrible, a group of devils suddenly appeared in the north, with tens of thousands of people, as well as tanks and armored vehicles, Madang Fortress is in danger!" ”
"Captain Bao, don't worry, let's talk about it inside!" Han Fei didn't want to discuss such a confidential military situation with Captain Bao here, although the people nearby were all Lao Bao's cronies, who could guarantee that the devil's spies and spies would not infiltrate?
Entering the underground command post, Lao Bao couldn't wait to point to the terrain north of Madang on the sand table and said to Han Fei: "I just received the news that a group of devils has appeared near Songjiaao, which is only more than forty miles away from us, with the mechanized marching speed of devils, we can arrive in half a day, but there is only one battalion to the north of our fortress, and it will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the devil troops with tanks and armored vehicles!" ”
"How's the firepower of your fortifications over there?" Han Fei asked.
"All of them are permanent reinforced concrete fortifications, and the firing points are in the form of light and dark bunkers, forming many cross-fire points, and there are almost no shooting dead ends, which can block the attacks of ordinary devil infantry, and can also withstand the attack and coverage of devil artillery fire, but it can't deal with devil tanks, because there is no weapon that can be used to fight tanks." Captain Bao said worriedly.
"It is estimated that it is impossible to want reinforcements, this devil unit is the Fujii brigade, which belongs to the headquarters of the North China Devil Dispatch Army, and the combat effectiveness belongs to the middle and upper part of the devil army, most of its soldiers are from Sendai, Japan, mainly fishermen, familiar with water, but the land combat power is not bad, not to be underestimated, while they have not yet arrived, I suggest that your battalion go out, dig anti-tank trenches and lay mine traps outside the fortifications, in order to delay the advance of the devil tanks and armored vehicles, as long as the devil tanks and armored vehicles are blocked, The devil infantry in the back is much easier to deal with. ”
"This is okay, but Chief Han, can the anti-tank trenches and mines stop the devil tanks from rushing up?" Captain Bao was a little unconfident in Han Fei's proposal, after all, it was a passive defense, if the devil tank bypassed those anti-tank trenches, wouldn't it be in vain?
"It's not a question of whether we can stop the devil tanks from rushing up, but we have to use everything possible to delay the advance of the devil tanks, without tank cover, their infantry will not be able to attack for a while and a half, and we will think of other ways." Han Fei said to Captain Bao.
"According to what Chief Han said, is there any other way?" When Captain Bao heard this, his heart was hot, and his confidence came up.
"There is no endless road, the two divisions of the Gui army are coming, and they can rely on the terrain of the fortress here to block the devils for a while." Han Fei nodded.
"Two divisions of the Gui army? Can it withstand the siege of Madang Fortress by tens of thousands of devils? Captain Bao was skeptical.
