Chapter Forty-Seven: War Mode Opens II

These undercurrents were turbulent Wang Feng didn't know, he was just concentrating on planning the battle to attack Yuhuatai.

In the past, the brothers of the two regiments of the 9th Brigade of the Molingguan Uprising suffered a big loss when they attacked Yuhuatai, and this attack on him was inevitable.

Yuhuatai is twenty miles north of Jinling City, the Purple Mountain in the west is undulating, and the east is an open area, Yuhuatai is the important town that connects the key point of the Purple Mountain.

Here, the Jiangfang Army deployed heavy troops, with six infantry battalions, three 57-mm Krupp mountain guns, six Makqin machine guns, and four field guns in Tianbao City, which could support here.

Wang Feng took the officers of the 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment to inspect the terrain for a day, and initially decided to attack Yuhuatai with the 1st Regiment as the main force, and the 2nd Regiment to launch a diversion attack on the area around Tianbaocheng, and the artillery company of the artillery battalion and the teaching regiment to support the attack of the 2nd Regiment with the most fierce firepower in the area of Maqun.

The attack was at 5:00 a.m. on the 29th, and after taking Yuhuatai, he attacked Tianbao City with all his might, and went out to the area of Qilin Gate to face the Jinling City Wall.

At night the troops were nervously preparing, wiping their weapons and preparing ammunition. The artillery entered the position overnight, and the cavalry also went to the front at night to reconnoiter the enemy's firepower and troop deployment.

Wang Feng took Wang Yangming, Wu Wencai and Chen Jianghe to inspect the team, and saw that although everyone was nervous, their morale was high! When they saw them coming, they all stood up and saluted.

Wang Feng took their hands one by one, Wen Yan asked, Wang Yangming pointed to a tall and sturdy company commander, and introduced: "This is Zhang San, a student of the 6th Army Middle School, from northern Jiangsu. This time, their three battalions and one company grabbed the task of the vanguard assault, and this kid also wrote a blood book. ”

Wang Feng smiled: "I remember the young man with the most accurate marksmanship!" Company Commander Zhang, are you determined about this mission? ”

Zhang San smiled honestly: "No problem!" Last time, he shot Wang Huzi of the fourth company of the second battalion, but this time he said that he would not let him say anything. ”

He scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and pinched the general's hat in his hand: "Commander, I just have one request?" ”

Wang Feng looked at him: "If you have any requirements, you can say it, within my ability, I will definitely do it!" Even if it's beyond my ability, I'll do it for you! ”

Everyone quieted down, and listened to Zhang San say embarrassedly there: "Tomorrow to lay down Yuhuatai, if you don't die, the commander must agree: or let's attack Tianbao City!" If I die in battle, I hope that the commander will erect a monument for us, which reads: Martyr Zhang San and his brothers, for the great cause of recovering the motherland, died here, so that future generations have a memory, this is enough! ”

Several people were silent, Wang Feng's eyes were slightly moist, he held Zhang San's hand, didn't say anything, just nodded vigorously, turned around and strode away.

Wang Yangming patted Zhang San on the shoulder, and several people followed Wang Feng.

After walking a long way, Wang Fengcai whispered to the people around him: "Brother Zhuoran, Brother Niansun, and no disease, the three of you will often remind me in the future, what Company Commander Zhang said today let me always remember what kind of youth I have under my hands, and what kind of career we are doing now!" ”

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was still dark, and the soldiers of the Jiang Defense Army entered their respective positions early.

The enemy was in front of them and prepared almost with great fanfare all night, and they hardly slept that night.

The opposite side was black and mushy, nothing could be seen, and now the enemy seemed to have completely quieted down.

Many soldiers of the Jiang Defense Army are even imagining that this night may pass so peacefully?

The time was only five o'clock, and there was a flash of artillery fire in the direction of the horses, and then dozens of fire snakes suddenly extended from the opposite side, and the roar of the machine guns became one, and the shells also exploded on their positions, stirring up pillars of fire and smoke, Jiang Fangjun thought that the enemy would attack at dawn, but he didn't expect it to be so fierce!

Wang Feng was in a shelter department, looking at the situation opposite with the Chase artillery mirror. The night was illuminated by clusters of firelight, revealing columns of smoke of different shapes.

The ballistics of the machine guns were intertwined, intertwined into a stream of fire in the air, and completely poured on the positions of the Jiang Defense Army.

Wang Feng had been on the battlefield and knew what kind of scene it was when the firepower of more than a dozen cannons and dozens of heavy machine guns was launched at the same time, everything was just a conjecture in the original book.

For the sake of insurance, he concentrated almost all the firepower at hand, but he didn't expect it to be such a spectacular scene!

He didn't know that in the future, he would only experience more, bigger, and more spectacular battle scenes.

Wang Feng's legs trembled slightly, his palms were full of cold sweat, and his ears were full of gunfire.

There unconsciously muttered: "Up, up, up!" ”

Wu Wencai beside him was very stable, looking at the battlefield with a telescope, listening to Wang Feng shouting there!

He said lightly: "Twenty minutes of shelling, machine gun fire extended, and oblique fire escorted the assault team forward, isn't it all decided?" Commander, rest assured! Let's watch Brother Zhuoran command! Our firepower is very strong, and Yuhuatai will go down today. ”

At 5:20, the soldiers of the Jiang Defense Army finally felt that the shells falling on their heads gradually stopped.

Their six battalions formed a line, arranged on dozens of undulating mountain bags in Yuhuatai, and the strongest battalion was led by He Kui, on a mountain bag with an altitude of about 6o meters in the center of Yuhuatai, which was called the No. 2 position on the map.

The main machine guns and artillery are concentrated here, and as long as you take this position, you can strafe the defenders in all directions with firepower, and this is the key point! As long as there is a little breakthrough, you can occupy all of Yuhuatai.

The 1st Regiment, with the sound of a short charge trumpet, attacked the left flank with the 1st Battalion, the 2nd Battalion on the right flank, and the 3rd Battalion broke through the center.

Each battalion controls one company of reserves, the regimental headquarters controls two companies, and the rest of the regiments pounce on their respective targets in a wave-like formation.

Position No. 2 was the direction of the assault of Zhang San's company.

One hundred and twenty-six brothers, all with bayonets on their rifles, jumped out of the position together with a strong wave of Zhang San's hand.

With the support of the oblique fire of the four heavy machine guns, he rushed towards the No. 2 position quickly, Zhang San clenched his cheekbone tightly and held the self-obtained pistol in his hand tightly, and now in his eyes there was only the No. 2 position!

He Kui is also an old battalion with Zhang Da Bianzi, and Wang Shihong is compared to the guard Zhang Da Braid, the old handsome double soldier.

He is now in command of the 6 battalions guarding Yuhuatai, and he is now on the No. 2 position, sitting in battle and pointing to the whole war.

"This group of Kuomintang people acted so hard that they blocked the way for us to cross the river and escape back to Xuzhou with their fleet. Even Zhang Dashuai has already made his coffin in Jinling City. He Kui didn't think that he would be able to leave Yuhuatai alive!

Half of the shells had fallen on his position, damaging a mountain gun and a machine gun, and killing and wounding 100 brothers.

He turned the remaining two machine guns and one mountain gun to the front, and all the shells were loaded with the fuses of the zero-line explosion.

With his eyes wide open, he half-crouched in front of the position, the enemy's bullets were shuttling around him like a stream of fire, and he didn't care at all, and several times kicked away the guards who wanted to pull him down.

It was the darkest time before dawn, and the surrounding positions could not be contacted at all, and some of the positions had already erupted into loud shouts of killing, and it was already a handover.

By the light of the fire, he suddenly saw more than a hundred figures, divided into three stragglers, already within the effective range of their rifles, and quickened their pace, rushing straight towards the position.

He Kui shouted: "Fire!" Beat me down on these fake foreign devils! ”

The two retreating Wuqi mountain guns shook violently, and the shells exploded almost as soon as they were discharged.

Two machine guns and more than 200 Manlicia rifles spat out fiery snakes together.

The first wave of formations that charged over was suddenly beaten to the ground and fell a lot.

But the officer who led the team was extremely brave, and commanded the second wave of formation, evacuated even wider, and sped up to rush upward.

He Kui ordered loudly: "Give me concentrated firepower, hit that officer, hit it, Lao Tzu will reward 200 foreigners!" ”

Dozens of guns suddenly diverted their firepower, and the canopy crackle characteristic of the Manlicia rifle rang out, and the officer cleverly rolled on the ground and hid behind the ridge, and without his command, the charging soldiers also lay down and concentrated their rifles to shoot here.

A bullet was shot in front of He Kui, and the smoke and dust caused him to "bump" twice, and he straightened up and walked swaggering on the position: "Everyone played very well today!" Didn't disgrace Lao Tzu! There is a kind of go up with Lao Tzu and get these guys out! Come forward, five oceans per person! Capture that officer alive and reward 500 oceans! ”

Zhang San was lying on his stomach behind the ridge, and he saw a military attache of the Jiang Defense Army wearing a red top on the No. 2 position, standing up and shouting in the midst of the bullets flying in the sky.

Although I couldn't hear what he was shouting, I also knew that I had hit a hard nail, and just now hundreds of shells smashed over, and the average domestic army collapsed.

On this position, they quickly organized a firepower counterattack, and their officers were even more desperate, they were already the top of the second grade, and they were still so desperate.

He saw that the officer tore off half of his robe, drew his waist knife, and shouted something, and the soldiers of the hundred and ten river defense battalions turned out of their positions and rushed down with him shouting. His soldiers shot desperately, but only three or two shots were fired, and both sides had no intention of retreating, so they were scuffled together.

Zhang San shouted and jumped up, "popped" the bullets in the pistol, knocked down four or five people, and snatched the machete in the hand of an enemy with a big iron pincer, and rushed straight towards the red-topped military attachΓ©.

At this time, the sky had gradually brightened, and the shouts of killing on the whole line had been connected. Wang Yangming and Chen Jianghe both held binoculars and watched the side of the No. 2 position. Seeing that Zhang San and the enemy have started a hand-to-hand battle.

Chen Jianghe was so anxious that he dropped the telescope and tore off his discipline: "Three battalions and four companies, follow me!" ”

But he was dragged by Wang Yangming fiercely, Chen Jianghe looked at Wang Yangming, his eyes had become red, and his face was crooked.

"You organize machine-gun fire cover in the back, and I'm on in front! This time, it's my turn! ”

He pushed Chen Jianghe away, picked up two self-starters, and asked the two guards to press bullets for him.

shouted: "Three battalions and four companies, follow me!" ”

Chen Jianghe came to his senses at this time, and grabbed Wang Yangming deadly: "Don't go up, Zhang San and they are still fighting!" The commander knows that you have gone up, so you can pay it back? Send someone else to lead the way! ”

Zhang San and the others were also caught in a bitter battle, although the first regiment was known as the most veterans, and half of them were recruits, who had only received the completed shooting training, and suddenly they started a hand-to-hand battle with these outlaws, and gradually became a little shaken.

Zhang San fought a few times with several enemies, seeing that his soldiers showed signs of retreating. yelled: "Lao Tzu will die here!" ”

Several veterans from the 9th Brigade around him were red-eyed, and they wheeled their rifles and rushed to kill him.

Zhang Sanyi cut off the head of a Jiang Defense Army soldier, and the big knife in his hand was also missing, he threw down the knife and picked up a rifle, and rushed towards He Kui.

He Kui's eyes were also red, and he wanted to rush forward with his waist knife.

The two guards next to him dragged him up and retreated towards the position: "Military gate, you can't fight with these madmen!" ”

He Kui kicked and punched, but was finally put down.

The other soldiers of the Jiang Defense Army also collapsed when they saw the commander retreating.

The soldiers of these defense battalions are fierce when they fight against the wind, and when they retreat, they will collapse immediately.

Zhang San shook the rifle and slammed it into the ground: "Today, this line, who wants to take a step back, Lao Tzu collapsed him!" ”

Wang Yangming was also persuaded by Chen Jianghe to calm down, gasped a few times, picked up the binoculars again, and suddenly cheered.

"Zhang San, that kid counterattacked the enemy and repulsed! Rushing upwards again! Four-in-a-row, on! Take that position down anyway! ”

More than 100 officers and men of the fourth company, who had been waiting impatiently, cheered and rushed straight forward under the leadership of the company commander.

Zhang San and the others were also overwhelmed by He Kui's firepower, and the flowering shells of the two 57-mm mountain guns hit a cloud of smoke and dust on the road, and the bullets of the rifle machine guns were also like raindrops.

Zhang San and the others were pressed against the impact road, and their bodies were close to the ground, helpless.

Two of the recruits stood up and tried to run back, but they were immediately hit, and one of them was still dead, and he rolled and screamed there.

Zhang San's eyes were burning and he looked back, and the fourth company was stumbling towards here, and he muttered, "What's the use of infantry?" I want a machine gun! Machine gun! ”

Wang Yangming saw all this, and Chen Jianghe said eagerly: "Brother Zhuoran, the enemy's firepower in the main position is too fierce, and the troops are more than our charging team, why don't they withdraw and use artillery to smash again!" ”

Wang Yangming never put down the binoculars: "If you withdraw now, you can't withdraw it, and if you come down, you will reorganize the team and notify the artillery to shoot, and you will not be able to charge for two hours!" The morale will also come down, don't think about laying down Yuhuatai today! ”

Chen Jianghe was so anxious that he sweated for a while: "Or, I'll pull up the two companies in the hands of the regiment headquarters?" Organize four more machine guns to go up, open the way and charge again! ”

Wang Yangming nodded: "There is only this way, now is the last breath with these dogs!" If it weren't for the fact that the enemy commander was so fierce, so many shells smashed through, and the defense battalion would have run away long ago, who was this commander? Could it be Wang Shihong? Or is it He Kui's fierce god? ”

Chen Jianghe immediately went down to assemble the team: "Who is the fuck?" As long as you say a word, you want to die, or you still want to live? ”

Wang Feng has been guarding in front of the artillery mirror, and his biggest headache is the primitiveness of the current artillery shooting support technology.

It is possible to shoot only one shot at a predetermined coordinate before the charge, and it is also a direct shot. It is simply not possible to do this, and it is flexible to support the infantry according to their needs.

If it weren't for this, this No. 2 position would have exploded with a burst of artillery, how could there be such trouble!

Seeing that the 1st Regiment had made adjustments there, intensifying its fire in the direction of the assault on Position 2, the two companies had formed a formation and leaped forward with heavy machine guns.

He hurriedly ordered Wu Wencai: "Chief of Staff, order the reserve of the Second Regiment to enter the position." Firepower, give me all the firepower, support a mass of impact! ”

Wu Wencai said coldly: "The second regiment is already pinning down the enemy attacking Tianbao Mountain, and now it is necessary to transfer, only the troops of the teaching regiment are transferred." ”

Wang Feng said angrily: "It's okay to care about any of his troops, and transfer the soldiers to me to support!" ”

Wu Wencai glanced at Wang Feng lightly, and went to transfer troops without saying anything.
