Battle of Zhanggushan (1)

"Liu Xiaoshan, Liu Xiaoshan!" Liu Hai called out to Liu Xiaoshan, who was sitting on a stone. "Hey, it's coming!" Liu Xiaoshan dragged the gun and ran over. "I heard you surrendered a few mountain guns!" Bangs asked. "Oh, dozens of fucking brothers died, this Tianjiapu was defeated, but more than half of Zheng Hong's regiment was killed and wounded, and Zheng Hong was also killed, a tragic victory, anyway, he didn't take advantage of it!" Liu Xiaoshan said. "There's no way, this little devil's combat power is really not blown!" Bangs said, "Take me to see those cannons!" "Okay!" Liu Xiaoshan led Liu Hai to the little devil's artillery field, where seven mountain cannons were placed! "This cannon is really good, new quack!" Bangs said. "Then what should I do, make it into our group?" Liu Xiaoshan said. "Do you need to talk about that?" Liu Hai looked at these guns very happily, all of them were seventy-five mm, and the caliber of his own guns was the same, and the shells could also be universal, which added a lot of artillery power to himself! "Captain!" Huang Kesheng ran over: "The commander told you to go!" "Okay! Drag all these cannons back! ”

Bangs took three steps and ran to Wang Yaowu's command hole in two steps. "Hello Commander!" Bangs salute! "Come on, come on!" Wang Yaowu welcomed Liu Hai in. "I'll introduce you!" Wang Yaowu pointed to a spirited officer inside and said, "This is Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 306th Regiment,!" "This is Liu Hai, the commander of our artillery regiment!" Wang Yaowu said to the regiment leader. "We know that when we set off, the brothers of our two regiments had a little misunderstanding because of the rush to the road!" Zhang Lingfu said. "Yes!" Bangs also said. "Hahaha, it's great to get to know each other!" Wang Yaowu pulled the two people to the map. "No more nonsense! After the little Japan retreated from Tianjiapu, it could only retreat to the area of Zhanggushan and Wanjialing, and the 77th Division and the 49th Division to the north of Wanjialing had cut off its retreat, and the current 106th Division of the Japanese Army has been surrounded by us in the area of Zhanggushan and Wanjialing, but the current Japanese army has sent the 21st Brigade to reinforce from west to east, if we don't take Zhanggushan quickly, the 21st Brigade of the Japanese army is very likely to pick it up! Then our troops in this area will be in vain, so the order given to us by Chief Xue is to take Zhang Gushan within three days! "Yes!" Liu Hai and Zhang Lingfu replied at the same time. But when they saw Zhang Gushan, the two of them felt a little braggadocio at the same time!

Zhang Gushan this mountain is not generally easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is quite easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is hard to attack, huge casualties will definitely be there, there needs to be enough artillery fire, enough troops, to put it bluntly, it is a huge consumption, the key is that after the huge consumption, it may not be able to attack! "Damn!" Zhang Lingfu put a steel helmet on his own matching gun: "Can this fucking be taken down?" "It's hard to say!" Liu Hai looked at the boulder on the mountain, and said in his heart that there are so many solid stones, and the effect of artillery fire is definitely reduced a lot! The most depressing thing is that the steepness of this Zhanggu Mountain is very scary, and you almost have to climb it. The most terrible thing is that this place is the commanding heights of the entire Wanjialing area, condescending, or the road to the outside world of Wanjialing, if the 106th Division occupies Zhang Gushan, then he can not only retreat, but also can attack, retreat and defend, so now Zhang Lingfu commands two regiments and Liu Hai's artillery regiment The task is to occupy Zhanggushan and cut off the only way for the 106th Division to retreat before the arrival of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army!

"Huang Debiao!" Bangs beckoned. "Captain, here you are!" Huang Debiao ran over. "Go push a cannon here, I'm going to try this ancient mountain!" Bangs said. "Okay!" Huang Debiao immediately ran back and called a few brothers to push a cannon over. "This is about two kilometers away from Zhang Gushan, our artillery can only be placed here, and further on, there is open land, which is easy to be attacked by devils!" Bangs estimated that if you shoot here, it is no different from blind shooting! "But there is a disadvantage here, that is, the distance is too far to accurately aim at the Japanese fire points on the mountain! And to fight on such terrain, where the artillery cannot provide direct point shooting, then there is no point, a waste of shells! "You mean to say that your artillery doesn't mean much?" Zhang Lingfu asked. "But it's not impossible!" Liu Hai squinted his eyes and said, "Look at the small forest in front of you, it's quite long, but it's not wide, if you can dig an artillery fortification two hundred meters long there, it should be fine!" But there is definitely the range of fire of the Japanese army, but I think the Japanese will not pull up the cannon on this hill to shoot, the first is not conditional, the second is too laborious, so they have a few mortars and grenadiers at most! As long as I can dig good fortifications there, I can provide spot-fire cover! "It's almost the range of Japanese machine-gun fire, so it's not easy to dig fortifications there!" Zhang Lingfu said. "You have to dig it, or you won't be able to fight this battle!" Bangs said.

"In this way, tonight I will ask the engineer company to dig the fortifications, and strive to dig it overnight, and your artillery will also be transported in overnight, and we will attack early tomorrow morning!" Zhang Lingfu said. "It's better to have some cover, can you arrange one or two companies to make a feint in the southwest corner as cover, this is safer!" Bangs said. "Okay!" Zhang Lingfu put down the binoculars and said. "Even so, I'm afraid it's not easy to fight, this mountain is too steep, and the casualties of a frontal assault won't be small!" Bangs said. "We have to fight if we say anything, if we let this 106th Division run away, we will all be dealt with by military law!" Zhang Lingfu said. "Gotta figure it out!" Bangs muttered. "Commander Liu, this time the two of us will fight down whatever we say, this is a division of the Japanese army!" "Hmm!" Liu Hai naturally knows what it means to annihilate a Japanese division!

In the evening, Zhang Lingfu transferred an engineer company and began to crawl under the forest in the night light to dig fortifications, saying that it was a forest, but in fact they were all small trees, not even three meters high, as long as they were not careful, they were easy to find. The engineer company commander personally took the lead in carrying the engineer shovel to sneak to the side of the grove and began to dig, because he did not dare to do it blatantly, he could only lie on the ground and dig with the sapper shovel, a company of engineers under the nose of the Japanese army, digging with a spade and a spade, Zhang Lingfu personally took a company to the southwest corner to make a feint as a cover, and Liu Hai also participated with a cannon! "Fire!" Zhang Lingfu said to the machine gunner next to him. "Da Da Da!" The machine gun rang out, and Zhang Lingfu looked at the Japanese soldiers on the opposite hill with wide eyes! As a result, there was no movement on the opposite hill. "San'er, take your class up to feel the situation!" Zhang Lingfu waved his hand, and a soldier led a dozen people to run out quietly. Before the dozen or so people could run fifty meters out, the Japanese troops on the opposite hill opened fire, and Zhang Lingfu saw a machine gun and more than a dozen rifles firing! "That's it! Come back! Zhang Lingfu hurriedly shouted. Oh my god! The third child ran back, "It's so evil! It's almost gone! ”

"Boom!" Bang Hai fired next to him, a shell smashed over, the Japanese army on the opposite hill thought that the national army was going to attack, so they began to shoot like popping beans, Zhang Lingfu looked at the density of fire on the opposite hill, and found that there were not many machine guns, but there were a lot of rifles! "This won't work, tomorrow's attack can't be rushed, the Japanese firepower on this mountain is too dense!" Zhang Lingfu said, "The machine gun hits a shuttle every ten minutes, and your company fires a platoon of guns every ten minutes, anyway, there is only one purpose, and you can't let the little devils stop!" "After Zhang Lingfu finished explaining, he ran to the back and discussed the attack with Liu Hai!" Captain Liu! Any comments no? Zhang Lingfu said. My opinion is to have another fifty cannons, so that I can comprehensively suppress them from the front! Bangs said with a wry smile. With such terrain, such a density of firepower, and the little devil's marksmanship is so scary, just our two infantry regiments and an artillery regiment rely on the pile of dead people, and they can't beat it down in three days! "Zhang Lingfu is at a loss!" But I think there's a way to try it! Bangs said. What's the solution? Zhang Lingfu hurriedly asked. *! Bangs said. Do we still have *? Zhang Lingfu said in surprise. We don't, but I can change it, pour out part of the charge, stuff it with some plastic blocks, cotton yarn and rubber, and it will emit smoke, and with this smoke, at least you can rush through this open field! Bangs said. That's a solution! However, even if you rush through this open field, you will still have to face the firepower of the Japanese soldiers! Zhang Lingfu said. In this way, we can use artillery and machine guns to form artillery arrays and gun formations, and carry out indiscriminate attacks, even if we can't kill the Japanese soldiers, at least we can make them unable to shoot! A little faster your attack troops, and you may be able to succeed! Bangs continued. All right! Zhang Lingfu looked at the mountain opposite and said.

Liu Hai took his own artillery and began to modify the shells overnight, and assembled a total of more than 50 rounds*, so many * are estimated to be enough to cover twice, after doing a good job*, Liu Hai and Zhang Lingfu went to see Wang Yaowu, and asked Wang Yaowu to strengthen all the light and heavy machine guns of the entire division to the Zhang Gushan position the next day, Wang Yaowu naturally knew the importance of Zhang Gushan, not only gathered the light and heavy machine guns of the whole division, but also transferred the mortars! Liu Hai divided all his artillery into two groups, one group entered the position dug by the sappers and fired at close range, and the other artillery fire was all fired in the front! Under such powerful firepower, Zhang Lingfu and Liu Hai are very confident and believe that they can take down Zhang Gushan in one go!
