Chapter 865: Jiang Defense Corps
If you want to get reinforcements from two battalions in two or three hours, it must be impossible, the only way to think of is to send people and horses out of the Madang Fortress on the river bank, but at this moment, Han Fei and they have just arrived there, and they have to be familiar with the situation, besides, once the devil's advance team comes, it is bound to attack the Madang Fortress at the same time, and it is estimated that there is not enough to guard the Madang Fortress, how can it be possible to send people and horses to reinforce it?
Even if Han Fei was able to send a part of the Jiangfang Corps to reinforce it in a very short period of time, the river at this moment had already been blocked by the devil's fleet, and it was a big problem to rely on what to cross the river, once it was discovered by the devil's fleet in the process of crossing the river, it would face the danger of being sunk by the enemy's guns, and judging from the situation on the river at that time, this possibility was very high, because the Chinese army near the river had no warships that could compete with the devil's fleet except for a few gunboats.
In this way, Haizi can only rely on the thirty-six special combat personnel under his command and the Xiangkou garrison of that battalion to resist this wave of devil advance team, he first set out to withdraw the people in the town who have not yet withdrawn, and when the devil ship comes to fight, these houses in the town are estimated to be difficult to protect, and the unarmed people who stay here will definitely die, it is better to withdraw first.
It must be too late to arrange mines and obstacles on the river, the devil's advance team will arrive, rather than passively defending, it is better to take the initiative to attack, Haizi also brought a few "water ghost" brothers who are familiar with the water this time, so he called them over, and assigned them a task: "There are still a few gunboats here at Xiangkou Wharf, I will let the brothers drive the gunboats to cover you up, and kill a few devil ships!" ”
"Okay, Captain Sea, these devil boats will be handed over to us, we have just gone down to feel the situation of the water potential here in Xiangkou, there are many shoals, and the reef is not small, if the little devils want to come up, they must be connected outside, and we can specially attack their shuttle boats!" It's really a line of words, it turns out that these "white stripes in the waves" have already explored the waters here, listening to this, Haizi has some bottom in his heart, so it's okay, as long as he can stop the devil's shuttle boat from coming, then Xiangkou here can have more time to prepare for defense.
Lao Li immediately set off with a team of "water ghost" brothers, these "white stripes in the waves" are not ordinary, they can dive underwater with a reed pipe, quietly touch the side of the devil ship, paste magnetic explosives, and blow up the devil ship into the sky.
Haizi's side immediately ordered all the defenders in the town to go to the riverbank fortifications to fill the bunkers and bunker positions there, and where there was a gap in firepower, send sappers to lay mines and explosives, as well as dig traps and pits, leaving only a few infantry and snipers in the town, and the rest were waiting for the devil's advance team to attack on the riverbank.
Han Fei rushed to Madang Fortress with his troops in the middle of the night, and the captain Bao stationed in the fortress was waiting on the road with his officers early, he received a telegram from Commander Wang, and only then did he understand that Han Fei, who led the team this time, turned out to be Chief Chen's proud subordinate Han Fei, he admired Chief Chen very much, and had also heard the name Han Fei, and knew that he was very good at fighting, and the young officer who had fought hard in Shanghai and Nanjing and other places, especially the first battle of Taierzhuang, The newspapers here in the Wuhan Theater are very well promoted, Han Fei's fame is even greater, Captain Bao is very surprised that this Han Fei can go from an obscure platoon deputy to the chief of staff of a major general in less than a year, although it is in the extraordinary period of war, and the promotion is faster than usual, but at this speed, how many military exploits do you have to achieve it, originally he thought that this Han Fei had a big backer behind him, but found that at this moment, Chief Chen has been removed from his post by the chairman of the committee, where can this be regarded as a backer? Removing this factor, Han Fei's rise all the way to the top of the road relied on his own fighting skills, and this time it attracted the attention and admiration of Captain Bao, so after he received the order that Han Fei was coming, he took his subordinates to wait on the road early.
Han Fei found that there was a team in front of him, led by a major general officer with a bearded face, who was probably the captain of the Jiang Defense Corps, the Jiang Defense Corps was a brigade-level establishment, and with the qualifications of the captain of the Bao, the rank of major general was about the same, which was the same level as Han Fei now.
Han Fei was anxious, exchanged a few words with Captain Bao, and after introducing each other, he said straight to the point: "Captain Bao, according to the information we just received, an advance team of the Botian detachment is about to attack, and they are only a few dozen miles away from Madang, I don't know how the preparations for battle here in Madang Fortress are?" ”
"Why did the devils attack it so quickly? Is the intelligence accurate? Captain Bao was a little surprised and asked.
"Absolutely accurate, this is the radio we intercepted the devil's decipher, time is running out, we must start preparing for battle immediately!" Han Fei nodded, looked at the "fox" and Chen Wan'er next to him, and said.
"So that's the case, it's really worthy of the name, it's your family who can intercept and decipher the devil's radio, so we can have a show to defeat the devil here!" Captain Bao looked very excited.
"Chief of Staff Han, please come with me, let's go to the headquarters to talk!" Captain Bao nodded and said, he had already started the arrangement on the fortress half a year ago, and he had been practicing and preparing every day for the past few months, originally he thought that there were still a few days to prepare, but he never thought that the devil's forward speed was so fast, and when he saw that the fight was about to start, he hurriedly invited Han Fei to the headquarters to speak.
Han Fei, Liu Ruye and Chen Wan'er followed Captain Bao to the headquarters, this headquarters is located in a cave halfway up the mountain behind the fortress, the location is quite secret, and it is surrounded by mountain peaks, surrounded by woods, a lush greenery, and the terrain here and the river surface are also arranged in an anticline, this terrain location is quite good, even if the devil plane detects this place, their naval guns and bombs can't hit here, the headquarters is located here, Han Fei has already seen that this captain Bao has a level, It's not ordinary, it must be very researched about the terrain and topography here, otherwise it would not be possible to choose this kind of hidden place, so that Han Fei felt a little relieved in his heart, if he cooperated well with Captain Bao's Jiangfang Corps, it was estimated that he should be able to repel the onslaught of the Botian detachment.
