Chapter 294: We're going to attack at night

"Principal Zhang, let's say goodbye to the national defense line, I didn't expect to meet again so soon."

Facing the other party's enthusiastic outstretched hand, Zhang Sixing stood up and led his subordinates to salute seriously.

"Brigade Commander Gao, the paratrooper school is here on order, please instruct."

Seeing Zhang Sixing's official appearance, the young Gao Zhisong also let go of the hustle and bustle and returned the salute to Zhang Sixing.

Yelena, who is very professional, held a camera to take a picture, Gao Zhisong hurriedly put away his smile, and put on a majestic senior officer.

After each finished the military salute, the two of them shook hands together, not only that, but the two of them also smiled with a smile on their faces, which made Yelena have a good time.

However, they began to greet each other,

"Principal Zhang, if it weren't for the blueprints of those home-made weapons you left on the territorial defense line, as well as the replenishment of personnel. With a few tanks left, we really didn't have it that easy. ”

"Brigade Commander Gao is polite, dare to ask Brigade Commander Gao where he put my department, if you can, my subordinates can start building fortifications now, otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late."

Look at the sky that is getting late at this time, but Gao Zhisong still grabbed Zhang Sixing's hand and didn't let go,

"Principal Zhang, I think we can talk more about arming. I'm afraid ......"

While the two were talking, suddenly several heavy explosions came from the direction of Andemen. There represents the defense line of Guanyin Mountain, which has been abandoned by the 114th Division of the Japanese Army.

To put it mildly, at present, the heavy artillery of the Japanese can completely go up the mountain and gain an absolute superiority in the artillery battle here.

Later, Zhang Sixing, who was dragged by Gao Zhisong and couldn't leave, learned that his subordinates were arranged to the left side of Yuhuatai, that is, near the position near Zhonghua Gate, where there was almost no danger to defend.

In the face of the devil's armored troops, the Chinese soldiers could only hold explosives and use their lives to fill them.

However, the battlefield has been dug into vertical and horizontal trenches, as well as deer, barbed wire, etc., in line with the operational norms of the defense system. Especially behind is the city wall of Jinling City, and the weapons under the city and on the city cover each other.

Zhang Sixing didn't have much to say about this, but before talking to Gao Zhisong, he recruited two infantry battalion commanders and asked them to deploy in a zigzag pattern with other troops.

Two infantry battalion positions, one on the left and one on the right, and the headquarters behind them.

These were not important to Zhang Sixing, as a habit on the battlefield, since the enemy had reached the Ande Gate in the south. Then Zhang Sixing will take his men to set out to reconnoitre, and then take advantage of the night when the enemy artillery is not strong to launch an attack.

In this confrontation between offense and defense, in addition to supplies, numbers, and combat determination, what is more important is the tactical commander's grasp of the battlefield.

The defender, who has the concept of active combat, will take advantage of every opportunity to counterattack and attack. This has the advantage of constantly weakening the forces of the attack, while also delaying and disrupting the opponent's rhythm.

To put it simply, don't think about peace for a moment, even if you put two artillery battles on the other side from time to time, it will cause pressure on the enemy's attack ability and psychology.

And the victory on the battlefield is accumulated bit by bit.

After chatting with Gao Zhisong for a while, the sky was almost completely dark, and Zhang Sixing suddenly remembered something and asked,

"Brigade Commander Gao, I don't know if you have artillery in your hands right now?"

"We have two artillery batteries, six 75-millimeter guns and six 82 mortars, and a few of them were left to us by the 88th Division when Principal Zhang passed by the national defense line, what do you ......mean?"

It can be seen that Gao Zhisong did not put on the scare of an official in the conversation with a brigade commander, after all, the last time he had dinner on the territorial defense line, he communicated with his own army commander.

Of course, the order from now says that the other party should be controlled by himself, but if anyone makes a mistake in the relationship, it will be too stupid. If the principal Zhang in front of him shows his ability to fight the Japanese 101st Division, this Yuhuatai may be able to defend it.

In the darkness, Zhang Sixing whispered,

"It's dark, the devil took the position of Jiangjun Mountain and Guanyin Mountain, although there was no battle, but from that side came over and fought in Andemen, you should want to rest well at night and deploy troops at the same time, and prepare for tomorrow's Yuhuatai. Can we keep them alive then, so I'll send my scout team out to find trouble with them. ”

Hearing Zhang Sixing's words, Gao Zhisong couldn't help but widen his eyes, although no one could see clearly in the dark.

At present, all the troops in the defense of Jinling have suffered heavy casualties, and the troops defending the defense line are overstretched, how can this Principal Zhang still have the strength to carry out such a night attack.

I heard that their paratrooper school is guarding Niushou Mountain with more than 3,000 people, but the mountain has been lost at this moment, and the troops brought by this Principal Zhang are only more than 2,000 people, less than 3,000 people, so it can be seen that the losses on Niushou Mountain are not small.

After fighting for a few days, doesn't this Principal Zhang know that he is tired, or does his subordinates not know how to be tired?

In the dark, Gao Zhisong blinked his eyes and thought about the situation in front of him, and asked a little embarrassedly,

"Principal Zhang, there are only more than 4,000 people in this brigade, and they are still the soldiers you supplied last time. At present, there are not enough troops to defend the entire Yuhuatai area, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for my side to support you, so I will only rely on artillery to support you......"

Zhang Sixing's answer to this was simply,

"Brigade Commander Gao, I'll bring some gasoline cannons over. I'll contact you when we find a place where enemy soldiers or vehicles are congregating. You open artillery to cover our approach, and then attack...... In short, we have to let the devils know that as long as we are in them, we will not be able to live in peace. Even if they are going to attack us tomorrow, they must first consider having the soldiers build the fortifications stronger, otherwise we will not be able to make a counter-charge. ”

Hearing Zhang Sixing's words, Gao Zhisong understood how the principal of the paratrooper school in front of him was fighting.

I don't know how to attack, but if he attacks anyway, he has to be careful of the non-stop attacks.

As an attacking party, there are few troops in the world that can be invulnerable.

This is why the people's army of the future will pay attention to mobile warfare, especially launching multiple interspersed attacks, dividing and encircling the enemy army and concentrating its forces to swallow it in one gulp.

This kind of thing can really be done by any army, not only the soldiers must be well trained, but especially the commander must be an officer who has experienced many battles and has extremely rich battlefield experience.

At this moment, the defenders of Jinling City, who had already been defeated again and again, and had almost no morale to speak of, could not do this, regardless of the officers and soldiers.

In fact, the morale of soldiers comes from the trust in the officer, just like Xiang Yu's battle. If there was no soldier's absolute trust in Xiang Yu, how could there be a miracle battle on the battlefield.

And morale is the foundation of all battles. With morale, no matter how difficult the battle, the soldiers will follow their trusted officers to perform miracles.
