Chapter 384: The Battalion Commanders of the Magical Regiment
A heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army had 16 to 24 heavy guns of more than 150 mm, and each heavy gun had a range of about 10 kilometers. The Wulongshan Fort is also more than ten kilometers away from the nearest north gate of Nanjing.
Moreover, the Japanese army has not yet completely penetrated the city of Nanjing, so if the Japanese army's reinforced heavy artillery brigade with a total of 24 heavy artillery wants to directly attack the Wulong Fort, it must go east to bypass the position of the Chinese defenders in Bauhinia Mountain, and then advance ten kilometers to the Wulong Mountain before entering the range of attacking the Wulong Mountain Fort.
So in the end, the heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army was selected to set up a gun position in the area of Yaohuamen, less than ten kilometers away from Wulong Mountain.
And now the Chinese defenders on these outlying positions on Bauhinia Mountain have all retreated into the city of Nanjing. Therefore, these twenty-four heavy guns were quickly transported to the area of Yaohuamen.
On the afternoon of the 13th, the two Japanese wings attacking Wulong Mountain had already reached the foot of the Wulong Mountain Fort three kilometers away and set up a defensive position, which could launch an attack on the battery at any time.
And the reason why these two wings camped three kilometers away was because they received a large number of mortar news from the defenders of Oolong Mountain.
And the mortars of this era can only hit a little more than two kilometers at the farthest, which has to be the latest Japanese and German mortars, if you change to some ordinary mortars of the Japanese army, the range is only 1.5 kilometers.
As for the Chinese army's mortars, the performance is even worse. If it weren't for the fact that the defenders on the opposite side had strong firepower, both wing commanders would have wanted to advance another kilometer and set up camp.
At this time, the heavy artillery wing sent for reinforcements was also about to arrive at the Yaohuamen position, and the two Japanese wing commanders were looking at their watches, they were waiting for the telegram that the heavy artillery wing had arrived at Yaohuamen, as long as the heavy artillery wing took the lead in launching an artillery bombardment, the two wings would follow closely to launch an attack.
In order to completely annihilate the defenders of Oolong Mountain, the Japanese troops of the two wings have begun to dig trenches and build fortifications at the foot of Fortress Mountain, which seems to be preparing to prevent the defenders of Oolong Mountain from breaking through.
While the soldiers of the two wings were still desperately digging trenches, on the top of the mountain, Regiment Commander Liu Aiguo and several battalion commanders were holding binoculars to inspect the fortifications of the Japanese wing at the bottom of the mountain.
Jin Sanpang, the commander of the firepower battalion beside him, was gesturing, seemingly calculating the distance. Jin San was fattened for a long time, shook his head and said regretfully:
"Alas, the Japanese are too treacherous, the fortifications they built are just outside the range of our machine guns and mortars, and even our conscienceless guns can't hit them. It's a pity, otherwise they must be given a few strokes, and they must be refreshed. ”
"Look at your virtue, it's still refreshing? Wasn't it just a personal interview with Boss Li Tie? You see, even the boss's words can be used. Why don't you say that when their fortifications are repaired, we will make people depressed to death?
On the radio just now, didn't you hear that the Japanese army had just transferred a reinforced heavy artillery brigade from Nanjing City to Yaohuamen, with 24 heavy guns of more than 150 mm.
I don't need to tell you about the power of that plaything, right? As soon as the cannon comes down, the strength of a platoon is all gone, and we are a magical group, although it is iron, but it can't stand this thing.
Think about how to sneak down the mountain and knock out the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, right? Otherwise, when they attack, we will let other people's heavy artillery be blown to slag. Wang Zehui, the commander of the second battalion, said.
"But no, your fire battalion is the best battalion in our regiment, what light and heavy machine guns, what long guns and short guns are all in your battalion, at this time, you don't hide it, you have the ability to use it quickly, and you can use it quickly if you have good things, right?" The commander of the third battalion, Wang Chengjun, also persuaded the commander of the fire battalion, Jin Sanfat.
Hearing the two battalion commanders say this, Jin Sanpang, who had been bullied by the three old battalion commanders, could only shout helplessly: "Old company commander, take care of your three big soldiers." From the first Songhu battle, several of them were platoon commanders, and they always loved to bully me.
Now that you have become a regiment commander, everyone is also a battalion commander, and they are still bullying me. You're going to be the master of our firepower.
Our firepower battalion has a lot of heavy weapons, but the Japanese devils are all out of range under the mountain, how can I hit the other side?
As for letting me knock out the enemy's heavy artillery brigade, I would like to. But now the Japanese devils of the two wings are blocking the way down the mountain, and Yaohuamen is ten kilometers away from us.
The little mortar I have can't hit the Yaohuamen position at all, unless you have a way to replace my 70mm mortar with a heavy gun of more than 150mm, can I still fly over the mortar? Jin Sanpang said aggrievedly.
Several battalion commanders didn't pity Jin Sanfat pretending to be stupid and cute, this kid usually likes to pretend to be pitiful and sympathetic, and there is no one in the whole magical group who doesn't know his details.
Everyone looked at Captain Liu Aiguo, in their eyes, Captain Liu Aiguo has always been scheming, and only he can come up with a way to deal with such an unfavorable situation.
Zhang Jintao, the deputy head of the fortress troops who had just surrendered to Cheng beside him, also looked at Liu Aiguo with an expectant expression, and their fortress troops had just repelled the attack of the Japanese Third Fleet.
The soldiers of the fortress troops had just found a sense of victory, and they heard that the Japanese heavy artillery brigade was coming to bombard Oolong Mountain, which made them very worried.
You must know that the offensive direction of the forts in Wulong Mountain is all towards the Yangtze River, and at the beginning of the design of their forts, they never thought that they would one day deal with the enemy behind the mountain.
Seeing that several battalion commanders around him were looking at him with blank eyes, Liu Aiguo shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Little Japan loves to bomb, let them bomb, anyway, I have no way to deal with this heavy artillery brigade."
As the saying goes, if you want to die in the sky, you won't die for thousands of years, and I can be regarded as letting go. So it's better to catch up on sleep before the enemy attacks, so as to deal with the upcoming big battle.
Oh, yesterday I ambushed under the grass all night, and I didn't close my eyes, and I killed the Yamada detachment early this morning, and at noon I beat up the Japanese warships and planes, and I am tired of your regiment commander and old man, I have to go to rest. After Liu Aiguo finished speaking, he deliberately stretched his waist.
Seeing that the regiment commander Liu Aiguo didn't care Shi Shiran walked away, several battalion commanders were anxious, and everyone wanted to step forward to stop the regiment commander and ask what was going on.
However, before several battalion commanders took a few steps, everyone suddenly found that Wang Dong, the battalion commander who was usually the most anxious, was still looking at the Japanese army smoking cigarettes at the bottom of the mountain, and with a leisurely expression, several battalion commanders immediately surrounded Wang Dong with bad intentions.
Seeing that several battalion commanders suddenly surrounded themselves, Wang Dong immediately threw away the cigarette in his mouth, and asked in a panic, "What are you doing here?" Want to rebel? ”
"Boss Wang, you are the commander of the first battalion and the eldest brother of our brothers, do you know some secrets that we don't know? If you know, don't hide it, just say it. Second battalion commander Wang Zehui squinted his eyes and said.
"Yes, be lenient in confession, strict in resisting! Say it. Wang Chengjun also loudly frightened Wang Dong, the commander of the first battalion.
Wang Dong glanced at Wang Zehui and Wang Chengjun with contempt: "Why should I tell you?" This is a military secret, and I only had the opportunity to know it when I accompanied the regiment commander to meet the boss. The regiment commander gave an order not to let me tell outsiders. ”
"Okay, you Wang Dong, give you some color, you dare to open a dyeing room, are we outsiders? We are your dearest relatives. Tell us that it is not considered to disobey the military orders of the regimental commander. Wang Zehui put his arm around Wang Dong's shoulders and didn't let him run away.
"Hey, if it's a relative, you just let it go, why do you hug me so tightly? I'm not a pretty. Wang Dong felt that something was wrong, he struggled a few times, but he did not break free from Wang Zehui's powerful embrace.
"Brothers, grab a battalion commander, take off his socks first, and serve him with great punishment, if you don't say anything, we will strip him naked, and play his *** together, see if he still says anything." Wang Chengjun, the commander of the third battalion, shouted loudly.
"Hey, I'm a person who eats soft and doesn't eat hard, you can buy me if you have the ability, can't you torture me to extract confessions?" Wang Dong originally wanted to use this to coerce several battalion commanders to give some blood each, extort their military salaries and the like, but Wang Chengjun, the commander of the third battalion, saw through his thoughts.
Seeing that everyone pushed him to the ground, he took off his shoes first, and before Wang Dong shouted, there was an itchy feeling on his feet.
"Oh, let me go, I say, I say." Before Wang Dong could take off his pants, he took the initiative to beg for mercy.
"Humph! Let your kid not know how to lift, toast and don't eat and drink, let's talk quickly, what the hell is going on? Why did our regiment commander not look worried at all when he heard about the heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army? Wang Zehui, the commander of the second battalion, hurriedly asked.
"Ahem." Wang Dong, who was already out of breath from being tickled, hurriedly said: "It's a shame that you are still the old men of our Hainan Guards." In such an important battle in Nanjing, the independent regiment held the ferry port Cihu Town in the west, our regiment held the river Wulong Mountain in the east, and 10,000 Hainan guards guarded the exit of Nanjing City and the Xiaguan wharf.
You say, as the most powerful force of the Hainan Escort Army and the biggest trump card of the boss, the special operations brigade formed by Chairman Wang Yaqiao himself and composed of the disciples of the Axe Gang Zhantang, can they not participate in this defense of Nanjing? Wang Dong explained disdainfully.
Hearing Wang Dong's advance of the special operations brigade, several battalion commanders let out an "oh" at the same time, as if they suddenly realized: "Yes, we have all taken action in such a big battle, and there is no reason for the special operations brigade to watch over the family in Hainan."
With the special operations team taking action, what are we worried about? Walk around, go to bed. Battalion Commander Wang Zehui immediately suggested that several battalion commanders go to the air-raid shelter to rest together.
Watching several battalion commanders of the magical regiment of the Hainan Escort Army walking shoulder to shoulder in the air-raid shelter, Zhang Jintao, who had newly joined the group, couldn't help but ask:
"What kind of army is this trump card unit you are talking about, is there a unit that has experienced more harm than your magical regiment? So such troops are still not people? ”
Hearing Regiment Commander Zhang Jintao's question, the battalion commanders who were walking in front did not stop, but instead accelerated their pace and ran towards the air-raid shelter, as if they were particularly afraid of mentioning this special operations brigade.
At this time, after putting on his shoes and socks on the ground, Wang Dong, who had just stood up, patted the dust on his body, came to him with a serious face, and said cautiously: "You are right, they are not people, they are the god of death." ”
