639, my God, is it so arrogant?
Come to the small lonely mountain position.
It is said that it is a small lonely mountain, which is indeed worthy of the name.
It's just a bare hill with a relative height of less than 100 meters.
It is completely incomparable with commanding heights such as the Purple Mountain.
Within a radius of a few hundred meters, it is the highest. It was just in the middle of the Japanese attack. The Japanese invaders can't get around it no matter what. Therefore, repeated contention is inevitable.
Garrisoned in Xiaogushan was the 17th Regiment of the Ninth Detachment of the New Fourth Army. The head of the regiment is Ye Fei.
The 17 regiment turned out to be a shelf regiment with only a few hundred people. But after Ye Fei's efforts, when he retreated to Jinling, it had increased to more than 2,000 people.
But Xiao Gushan can't put so many people. There are a maximum of about 100 people left on it.
If there are too many people, they will be covered by Japanese artillery fire.
In order to take this bare hill, the Japanese invaders dispatched planes, tanks, and heavy artillery.
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
The Japanese invaders poured a large amount of ammunition into the small lonely mountain.
The surface of Xiaogu Mountain has been blown up, and all of it is soft soil, and none of it is intact.
But he never took the small lonely mountain.
Behind the small lonely mountain, there is a deep traffic trench connecting the rear.
Personnel, ammunition, food and other materials in the rear were continuously transported from the traffic trenches to the top of Xiaogu Mountain.
The wounded on the small lonely mountain were also transported to the rear through the traffic trenches.
The traffic trenches are deep. The Japanese artillery fire could not be destroyed.
Frankly speaking, the firepower coverage of the Japanese invaders is far from that of the US imperialism more than ten years later.
Shangganling can be defended, not to mention Xiaogushan?
Along the deep traffic trench, Zhang Chu came up to Xiaogu Mountain without danger.
The entire Little Lonely Mountain has almost been hollowed out.
There are deep trenches and cat's ear holes. There is also a water source cave where water is hidden.
With smoke in their throats, the warriors came here to find water to drink.
There are also tunnels.
In some places, there are also anti-slope tunnels. to protect against the shelling of Japanese 150-mm howitzers.
"Hit!"
"Hit!"
Little Lonely Mountain is fighting fiercely.
Zhang Chu quietly looked out. It was discovered that it was the Japanese who started a new round of attacks.
In front were three tanks. Behind was a large number of infantry. What at least two squadrons look like.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a deafening gunshot rang out.
Looks like a 14.5mm anti-tank rifle?
Look sideways.
Indeed it is.
It was the hammer that shot it.
He didn't seem to have missed. The Japanese tanks continued to advance.
Fortunately, the hammer quickly reloaded and continued firing.
"Bang!"
One more shot.
Soon after, a Japanese tank finally lay on its stomach.
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
The Japanese artillery fire was heavily covered.
However, Xiaogushan is a small mountain bag, and the width is not even a hundred meters.
For long-range artillery fire, such a small target is actually very difficult to hit directly. Even if the Japanese planes strafe, it was often a waste of bullets.
The battlefield was filled with gunsmoke and visibility was low. It is impossible for the Japanese plane to achieve good results.
So, more often than not, the Japanese used infantry guns, or 90mm mortars. The devil's artillery fire was very accurate. The threat to Little Lonely Mountain is great.
Fortunately, the artillery fire of the New Fourth Army was also able to respond in time.
There was an observation post on the hill, and there were telephone lines connected to the artillery positions behind. As soon as the Japanese artillery fire is discovered, the artillery behind it is immediately directed.
The artillery of the New Fourth Army in the back had only two 75-mm mountain guns. No way, that's all.
Until it cannot be upgraded in batches, the number of 75mm mountain guns will always be stretched.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
Zhang Chu fired silently.
A Japanese soldier fell. Another Japanese soldier has fallen......
"Ding......
"You killed the Japanese from a distance......
"You get a special reward: a ...... of a domestic 75mm mountain cannon"
"Ding......
Information came.
Zhang Chu was immediately overjoyed. Just now it was said that there was a shortage of 75-mm mountain artillery. Unexpectedly, there was a reward immediately.
Meddlesome......
Meddlesome......
Again......
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in my ears.
But a Japanese shell exploded nearby. The distance may not even be ten meters.
Suddenly I was stunned. The joy just now was immediately shattered.
But there were no injuries.
Finally, his sanity gradually recovered.
Such an experience is estimated to be shared by every fighter. The 105-mm shells of the Japanese were very nasty.
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
The sound of explosions kept coming.
It was the Japanese who intensified the intensity of the bombardment of Xiaogushan. The shells were as dense as raindrops.
There is no way to fight back at all.
At this moment, the only thing that can be done is to dodge the cannons.
The devil's 70-mm infantry guns, 90-mm mortars, and 105-mm heavy cannons all took turns. Bombarded the little lonely mountain.
Fortunately, 150-mm howitzers were not sorted......
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
Zhang Chu had a splitting headache from being bombed.
I felt like I could be blown up at any moment. Or maybe they fell headlong and passed out.
The mind is always awake. That pain......
Suddenly, the sound of tank tracks was heard. Hurriedly looked up.
Boy!
Sneak attack!
A Japanese tank rushed up at full speed.
The distance is less than three hundred meters!
Zhang Chu took out the bazooka without thinking.
"Whew!"
"Boom ......"
A rocket flew past. The Japanese tank was instantly blown into wreckage.
Hey, rushing so fast, huh. Look at you.
"Ding......
"Destroy a Japanese tank......"
"You get 3 million ......"
"You get a special reward: a domestic 500 kg aerial bomb ......"
Information poured in.
Zhang Chu hurriedly bowed his head. Squat again under the trench.
Aerial bombs!
Five hundred kilograms!
Cool crooked!
If this thing lands on the battleship of the Japanese invaders, the battleship will be injured!
If it falls on the destroyer, it should be able to hit hard. Or maybe sink directly.
Continue to endure the bombardment.
I don't know how long it took for the Japanese artillery fire to gradually subside.
"Quick!"
"Carry it away!"
A stretcher team came up and carried away the wounded of the New Fourth Army.
Someone walked up to Zhang Chu and tried to carry him away. Zhang Chu waved his hand. Say you don't need to.
I'm fine......
It's true......
Struggling to get up.
OK.
There were no external injuries. There were no internal injuries. The brain consciousness is also clear. Both vision and hearing are normal. It's the throat grabbing to death. Dyspnea. The air smelled of gunpowder......
So, the stretcher team went to rescue the others.
At the same time, about twenty new fighters came up. Replace a wounded warrior.
To say that it is a new fighter is actually inappropriate.
To be precise, a new force. It was the rear that rotated up to continue to defend Xiao Gushan.
The wounded were evacuated.
Didn't hurt on top.
This is a classic war of attrition.
The Japanese attacked repeatedly in an attempt to wear down the defenders' strength.
The New Fourth Army went-for-tat, and it also took turns to go into battle, sending fresh forces in a steady stream.
Need?
Yes!
We have no shortage of people in China!
With the mobilization capacity of the New Fourth Army, hundreds or thousands of people can be mobilized in the Jinling area in one day.
Once the focus of work shifts here, there is no need to worry about the problem of troop sources at all. As long as Xiaogushan is still in the hands of the New Fourth Army, there will be a steady stream of reinforcements.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
But it was a Japanese tank that was blown up. On the spot, it turned into a pile of wreckage, scattered all around.
It was defeated by a bazooka.
There were soldiers of the New Fourth Army carrying rocket launchers to approach the Japanese tanks.
"Yaga!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The nearby Japanese invaders were furious.
None of them expected that their tanks would be attacked.
By the time the reaction came, the tank was finished.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
Zhang Chu also continued to fire.
Without the cover of tanks, the Japanese infantry is completely a moving target! Can you miss it?
"Ding......
"You killed the Japanese ......"
"You get a special reward: a ...... of a domestically produced 40mm bazooka"
Suddenly, the message came.
Good!
One more bazooka!
Although it is not possible to upgrade in bulk. But as long as there is, it's a good thing!
"Ding!"
"You killed the Japanese from a distance......
"You get a chrono reward: a domestic crossbow-6 individual anti-aircraft missile......"
Zhang Chu: ???
Exultation!
What is it? I thought I was wrong.
Hurriedly take a few more looks.
Ah, that's right, it's indeed an individual anti-aircraft missile of later generations.
Wow!
This one is amazing!
Playing propeller planes in this era is simply a hundred shots!
Even if the hit rate is 99.9999%, it is a humiliation for the individual anti-aircraft missiles of the Flying Crossbow series. All missiles were dispatched. What propeller plane can't shoot?
Good!
The Japanese planes are dead.
Although there is only one. But when will the Japanese planes come and try it......
"Enemy planes!"
"Enemy planes!"
Suddenly, someone screamed.
Zhang Chu hurriedly raised his head. Sure enough, in the southeast, a Japanese bomber appeared in the sky. It was supposed to take off from an aircraft carrier.
Well done!
Zhang Chu decisively took out the crossbow series.
Boot.
Aim.
The goal is very clear. Slow. The speed is only about 400 kilometers per hour.
Launch.
"Whew!"
A white light passed.
The Japanese bomber turned into a ball of fire in an instant.
Let's just say that it is impossible not to hit.
Not at all a weapon of the times. It's the equivalent of hitting a spear with a rifle.
"Boom ......"
The fireball exploded again in the air.
Then it fell into a messy wreckage. Scattered all over the place.
"Ding......
"You killed a Japanese bomber......"
"You get 5 million in earnings......"
"You get a special reward: a domestic 500 kg aerial bomb ......"
Information arrives.
Zhang Chu's heart was full of joy.
If only there were enough individual anti-aircraft missiles......
Unfortunately not.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
Keep shooting at the Japanese invaders.
Two more 40-mm rocket launchers were acquired and immediately distributed.
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
More Japanese tanks were destroyed.
Without the cover of tanks, the remaining Japanese had to retreat.
Zhang Chu also came down from the top of the hill.
I happened to meet Ye Fei.
"Are there any casualties among the troops?"
"More than 300 people have been killed or wounded."
"Any add-ons?"
"We mobilized more than 3,000 people on the spot."
"Ah......h
Zhang Chu was relieved.
For the mobilization capabilities of the red, there is no need to worry at all.
As long as there are people, there is a steady stream of soldiers.
More than 300 casualties and more than 3,000 mobilized. The troops are definitely fighting more and more.
So he gave Ye Fei a batch of weapons.
As long as it's a Czech light machine gun, there is also a Suomi submachine gun.
"Nichiro!"
"Nichiro!"
Suddenly, someone next to me screamed.
Zhang Chu tilted his head. It was found to be from the southwest, and a large number of Japanese invaders poured up. There were at least three or four hundred people. Aggressive. Vicious.
Ye Fei's face darkened.
The Japanese invaders broke through their positions. Breakthrough flank positions.
"Whose defense zone is over there?"
"It's the Ninety Army. QXN opened. ”
"Oh......"
Zhang Chu frowned.
It is estimated that it was the original Wang Jialie's troops.
After Wang Jialie's death, the army fell apart, was dismantled at will, and basically disappeared.
If it was the Qianjun army, it would be impossible to expect them to fight back.
"Da Da Da ......"
"Da Da Da ......"
Suddenly, a group of Chinese troops came out.
There were also three or four hundred of them, all armed with Suomi submachine guns. Shoot wildly at the Japanese invaders.
The Japanese invaders, who were caught off guard, suddenly fell in pieces.
Zhang Chu: ......
What's the situation?
"It's the Ninth Brigade of the Dian Army."
"It's Fan Tianxi's troops."
Ye Fei briefly introduced.
Zhang Chu suddenly realized. Let's just say that Tony's steel helmet is a little familiar. It turned out to be the Ninth Brigade of the Dian Army.
OK. This Dian army has good combat effectiveness.
The flute was blocked again by the gap broken by the Japanese invaders. He also fought back and wiped out hundreds of Japanese invaders.
Terrible!
"Yaga!"
"Scrap wood!"
"Rice bucket!"
Fujita was furious.
His third division was the main force attacking Jinling. The 6th and 9th Divisions were behind him.
I thought that I had broken through the outer defense line of the Chinese, but I did not expect that I was counterattacked again.
Damn it.
However, he was not willing to let in failure. Immediately dispatch troops and continue the onslaught.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The hordes of Japanese invaders rushed upwards and were mercilessly shattered.
Zhang Chu nodded thoughtfully.
This is a 13.2 mm machine gun bullet that the Dian army is equipped with. This bullet hit the Japanese prisoner's body, and the power was greater than that of a 12.7 mm bullet.
Japanese tanks are also often beaten to the ground.
Steady.
Zhang Chu put his mind at ease.
At least, this Ninth Brigade of the Dian Army is reliable.
The point is that this brigade is actually a divisional establishment. There were four infantry regiments below. Each infantry regiment had four infantry battalions. Each infantry battalion had four more infantry companies.
It's not a three-three system.
But it's not exactly the four-four system. In short, there are tens of thousands of people in such a brigade!
Brigade Commander Fan Tianxi, with the rank of direct lieutenant general.
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
However, the Japanese artillery fire quickly counterattacked.
Objectively speaking, the technical and tactical level of the Japanese invaders is indeed much higher than that of the national army. The armament is also complete.
A series of artillery fire fell, and the Dian army hurriedly retreated.
Outside it was all plains and wilderness, with no cover, and it was easy to be killed by enemy fire.
This is also the reason why Yang Sanmu is preparing to retreat into the city with the whole army.
It's not cost-effective to fight outside the city.
It's better to put the Japanese in the city to fight.
When they arrived in the city, the Japanese artillery fire was not so easy to exert its lethality. The bombing of the planes was also not so good.
Unless the Japanese do not continue to attack.
Otherwise, as long as the Japanese continue to attack, they will definitely fall in.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
Zhang Chu shot and killed two Japanese criminals.
As long as the Japanese invaders are discovered, Zhang Chu can't hold back. Although weapons can be upgraded in batches, mosquito meat is also meat!
"Zhang Chu 1"
"Zhang Chu!"
Zhou Weiguo suddenly hurried over.
Something. It was the 23rd Army that needed weapons and ammunition. This 23rd Army was originally also the number of Wang Jialie of the Qianjun Army, but later went around and around, and changed hands for I don't know how many.
Now, most of the 23rd Army is already the Shaanxi Army.
"So far?"
Zhang Chu was incredulous.
Lao Jiang is amazing! The Shaanxi army was actually transferred to this side.
"It's going to be far."
"Don't worry until you're far away."
Zhou Weiguo replied with a straight face.
Zhang Chu shut up.
All right!
The truth is so cruel.
As a great shame in his life, Lao Jiang hated the events of last year.
Once out of danger, immediately set out to destroy the Shaanxi Army and the Northeast Army.
There are many soldiers in the Northeast, and they cannot all be dispersed for the time being. But the Shaanxi army has been dismantled in pieces. A considerable part of the Shaanxi army was also transferred to the south, away from their homeland.
The name used is also very justified.
Aren't you clamoring for resistance to Japan? I'll give you a chance to resist Japan. Bring you to the south to fight against the Japanese.
If you refuse, you are duplicitous.
If you don't refuse and come to the south, aren't you being picked up at will?
"What is the morale of the troops now?"
"It's bad."
"Oh......"
Zhang Chu nodded.
Come to the riverside.
It was here that the Shaanxi troops came ashore.
For the time being, the Japanese are not yet capable of blockading the Yangtze River. The loss of two destroyers had just made the Japanese navy have to pay careful attention.
At present, the Yangtze River is navigable normally. Of course, it is limited to the line from Jinling to Shancheng.
The wooden boat carrying the troops of the Shaanxi Army actually boarded the ship in Jiangbei and then entered the Jinling battlefield.
For the time being, there are no Japanese invaders in Jiangbei, and there is no need for defense.
However, with the occupation of Zhenjiang, Yangzhou and other places by the Japanese invaders, they may make a detour from Jiangbei. At that time, Jiangbei will need to be fortified.
In total, a dozen wooden ships. Each wooden boat carried more than a hundred people.
The soldiers of the Shaanxi army are all lightly armed.
Actually, it's just a rifle. Most of them are old guns. There are also not many bullets. Maybe a dozen rounds. Wear cloth shoes. Most of them are worn out.
Wooden boats can only carry about 1,000 people in one trip. The efficiency is low.
But that's how it was then.
Is there a small steamer or anything like that? There should be. But Zhang Chu didn't see it. They may have retreated to Hankow together.
The first officer to go ashore was Deputy Commander Bai Kainan. The surname is white, but in fact, the person is very dark-looking. and Li Zicheng are fellow villagers. looks a bit like Li Zicheng. The cheekbones are high. The face is furrowed.
"What about Luo Junzuo?" Yang Sanmu asked.
"Our military seat is sick...... "Bai Kainan replied helplessly.
Yang Sanmu smiled hehehe.
Sick?
What a coincidence to get sick at this time.
But it didn't break it either.
This military commander surnamed Luo was dispatched by Lao Jiang after the incident. The goal, of course, is to control this Shaanxi army.
On the contrary, Bai Kainan is a native of Shaanxi. It turned out to be a brigade commander.
Many previous division commanders and army commanders have been relieved of their military authority, and only Bai Kainan and others have not been dismissed.
If it weren't for the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance, it is estimated that he would have been soon.
"Brother Bai, tell me honestly, how many people in your army can really enter Jinling?" Yang Sanmu asked with a smile, without the slightest pressure.
"Ashamed, ashamed...... Bai Kainan said helplessly, "There are only about thirteen thousand." ”
"Isn't there moisture in this number?"
"Nope. Absolutely nothing. Thirteen thousand, one less, you are the only one who asks. ”
"That's good!"
Yang Sanmu did not continue to investigate.
That's how it was then. Thirteen thousand people from others is already very good.
Even his own 20th Army, didn't he also leave a 133rd Division stationed in the distance as the capital for a comeback? This 23rd Army must be enough to keep a hand. It's impossible to really transfer them all.
However, the Ninth Brigade of the Dian Army was all killed.
"This is ......"
"Adjutant Zhang."
"Oh......"
"Kenan White!"
"Here!"
"I now appoint you commander of the 23rd Army, with full command. If you need to replenish weapons and ammunition, find Adjutant Zhang. ”
"Yes."
Bai Kainan didn't dare to slack off.
This is to be expected. It must be that he is responsible for replacing the surname Luo.
"Adjutant Zhang......"
"How many weapons and ammunition do you need?"
"A lot, a lot."
"Is there a specific number?"
"The ......"
Bai Kenan wanted to speak and stopped.
Then beckoned, and the quartermaster was found.
The quartermaster handed Zhang Chu a delicate gift box. Zhang Chu took it and opened it, and there were actually three gold bars inside. It's a small yellow croaker. Not a large yellow croaker.
"The white commander is polite. I'll take it. ”
"That ......"
Bai Kenan was slightly relieved.
The Quartermaster General immediately handed over the list of needs.
Zhang Chu glanced at it.
Seventy-nine rifle ammunition 800,000 rounds. 10,000 grenades. Fifteen hundred rounds of 60-mm mortar shells......
Shake one’s head.
"White Commander ......"
"Adjutant Zhang, look ......"
Bai Kenan felt a little bad.
Shake one’s head?
What do you mean?
Didn't you?
"Commander Bai, give you a chance to rewrite the numbers."
"Adjutant Zhang......"
"Let's rewrite!"
Zhang Chu couldn't help but say.
This Bai Kenan, only 800,000 rounds of ammunition? What can be done?
You're an army!
You have thirteen thousand! Only a few dozen bullets per person?
Bai Kainan was helpless.
Unexpectedly, it is not easy to open the way for gold bars. This Adjutant Zhang really eats people and doesn't spit out bones.
Is it to give three big yellow croaker? It's too ugly to eat......
Soon, new data came out.
Zhang Chu took a look. Speechless. It turned out to be 500,000 rounds of ammunition.
Never mind.
Tear it off directly.
Kenan Paik: ......
Don't go too far!
I've given you three gold bars! What else do you want to ......
Aggrieved......
"Adjutant Zhang, we came from thousands of miles away, and we are here to fight......
Bai Kainan couldn't help but say stupidly.
The sound stopped abruptly.
But it was Zhang Chu who stretched out his hand to stop it. He knew that the other party had misunderstood.
"Commander Bai, you're thinking too much."
"Huh?"
"I mean, the data you're providing is too small. It simply can't meet the need. You are an army, I will allocate you at least 10 million rounds of ammunition! ”
"What?"
Bai Kainan was startled. Do you think you heard it wrong?
Ten million rounds?
At least disbursement?
So much?
"Ten million rounds!"
Zhang Chu held up a finger. Indicates that they heard it right.
Receiving weapons and ammunition or something, they are all so careful, how can they still fight? Do you really want you to fight with the Japanese with bayonets......
"What? Ten million rounds? ”
Only then did the quartermaster next to him react.
It feels fantastical.
How can there be so much ammunition......
No way......
"Do you have what it takes to take 10 million rounds of ammunition at once?"
"What?"
"I mean, do you receive all the weapons and ammunition at once, or do you receive them in batches."
"We ......"
Bai Kenan wanted to speak and stopped.
Suddenly I felt that happiness came too suddenly. Not prepared at all.
10 million rounds!
So much!
His troops don't seem to be able to carry it.
The entire army was only 13,000 men, and not all of them had yet arrived. At present, there are only more than 1,000 people ashore. Even if everyone is full, one person is carrying 300 rounds.
"Let's divide it in batches!"
"That's fine. Batch bookkeeping. ”
Zhang Chu nodded.
Good in batches.
It's easy for me to arrange in batches.
Otherwise, dozens of trucks may have to be dispatched! That is magnificent......
Bai Kainan suddenly remembered something.
"Adjutant Zhang, ...... after this batch of ammunition runs out"
"Come to me! I'm in charge of replenishing your weapons and ammunition! Guaranteed that you will never run out of weapons and ammo! ”
"What?"
Bai Kenan was shocked.
Oh, my God!
Is it so arrogant?
Never run out?
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
Suddenly I heard a dull sound. But it is the airdrop packages that keep falling.
Inside each airdrop package, there were fifty boxes of ammunition. That's 50,000 rounds. Twenty airdropped packages is a million rounds of ammunition.
Bullets or something, don't take up space. It is also lightweight. If it's a shell, it's heavier.
"It's ......"
"The first bullets for you. A million rounds in total. Arrange for someone to receive it immediately! ”
"Quick!"
Bai Kainan hurriedly said to the quartermaster.
The quartermaster hurried over. Unpack the package. That's right. It's all yellow and heavy, heavy bullets. The quality is not to be said.
Unwrap the other packages, revealing bullets inside. A million rounds, just a little more.
"Come, which of you signs?"
"Me!"
Bai Kenan excitedly signed his name.
Hey, it feels so good. It feels a bit unreal.
