Returning to his command post, Zhang Sixing was preparing to have lunch. When he entered the command post, his first question was to ask the two radio soldiers sitting in front of the periscope that Captain Qin Derong had left behind.
Yelena was not here at this time. The girl with a bit of fierceness should be holding her camera at the moment, and the camera was collecting materials everywhere on the mountain.
Zhang Manna and Xu Wenqian, both in their twenties, besides guarding the radio station, followed Zhang Xingsi's orders and watched the disguised periscope observation system 24 hours a day.
In fact, Zhang Sixing did not have many external telegrams. Apart from reporting daily battle status to the German officer corps, he basically had no telegrams to send.
As for receiving the telegram, he who knew the "inside story and results" of the Jinling defense battle had no intention of knowing what Tang Shengzhi's orders were. Moreover, at this moment, the man known as "Commander Tang Monk" would not only order the troops to defend their positions, but also the entire Jinling
During the defense battle, no effective orders were issued.
Therefore, the same radio soldier only monitors the messages sent by each unit's radio station on the radio, thereby marking the direction and location of the enemy's attack on the combat map.
Originally, this required a staff officer, but unfortunately Zhang Sixing did not have any staff officers, at least he had not had the opportunity to train such an officer.
Zhang Manna plucked her hair from her temples and had no intention of knowing what battle plan they had. If the messy defensive battle plan could be called an effective battle plan.
"I guess the Japanese may not be planning to attack us anymore. They should be changing the direction of their attack."
"If we don't fight, they won't attack us after only two attacks?"
Without even looking at the lunch on the table, Zhang Sixing came to the map table with several lanterns hanging on it.
There is a battle map of Jinling City on it, but there is also a map on it that other troops do not have. A detailed terrain and defense map of Niushou Mountain.
"They changed their direction. It should be...here. Those hills should be the direction where the 58th Division is fighting. In addition, some of their troops are heading towards Dasheng Pass."
What the hell are these little devils going to do if they just avoid my place?
While thinking about it, Zhang Sixing pulled aside the combat map of the defense area in front of him and looked down at the combat direction that had been marked with red and blue pencils.
Huh, if you don't fight me, I can still watch you not fighting. Don't think that I am one of those fruit troops. When friendly forces are attacked, they don't support them. When they see gaps on the battlefield, they don't attack. They just passively defend.
"Tell the front line to prepare for a night attack, and the other people who want to help go home. Tell them that the Japanese are coming to their village soon."
"yes"
There was no tension in the current battle at all. Japan's two consecutive offensives with troops did not even touch the defense line of the paratrooper school.
In the entire artillery fire anti-slope tunnel, construction is still in progress.
Thanks to that girl Xu Xuefan, Zhang Sixing and his men had to go to the surrounding villages to guide and assist the villagers in digging a "model" tunnel for a day.
Well, it was a trouble at the time. But the relationship between the army and the people was never wrong. Moreover, this incident was also a thank you to Lao Tian and others for sending hundreds of veterans at the beginning of the Battle of Jinling.
This incident that seems to affect the construction of mountain tunnels is actually beneficial to tunnel construction. Thanks to the help of the Paratrooper School, the surrounding people who helped them dig mountain tunnels have not evacuated yet.
"Sir, you didn't even fight and helped us dig the tunnel at home. Now that the family and the children are settled, you can tell us how to dig the tunnel in the mountain."
These things reminded Zhang Sixing of his previous life, when the common people "fed them" during the flood fight. Except for those who were ungrateful, even those who were usually violent would only greet the people's soldiers with a grateful smile.
But now Zhang Sixing cannot let the people who volunteered to help dig further.
After all, it is foreseeable that Niushou Mountain and Guanyin Mountain are defended by the 58th Division and the Parachute School. No matter how long it lasts, it is a mountainous battle, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
However, the Dashengguan defense line in the west and the Heding Bridge in the east are both plain areas. After the Japanese army's probing attack is over, they will of course choose the plain areas on both sides of the mountains for breakthrough operations.
What can be seen now is that the Japanese Sixth Division is divided into two parts. One part is attacking Dasheng Pass under the cover of the tank squadron equipped by the Sixth Division.
According to Zhang Manna's observation, this tank squadron has eight Type 89 medium tanks and six armored vehicles. But even such a fragile armored force cannot compete with the infantry who lack anti-armor weapons in Dasheng Pass.
Just when Zhang Sixing was looking at the map and thinking, Hansen came in from outside the cave. As Zhang Sixing's adjutant, this guy was always very timely for meals. Although the food in the command post was the same as the food in other places, he stubbornly guessed that Lao Yandou
Maybe I'll give Zhang Sixing an extra meal or something.
"Sir, the little devil is getting more and more useless. I only used two brigades to test..."
While beating the dirt off his body, he reached into his pocket and took out a metal cigarette case. He took out two cigarettes and tapped them on the cigarette case a few times to make them stronger. Then he held one in his mouth and pinched the other one.
Touch Zhang Sixing's arm in his hand.
"Look, Hansen, the Japs have divided their forces. They abandoned us and ran to both sides."
I took a look at the locations of the various units marked on the combat map by Zhang Manna. Of course, the main ones were Niushou Mountain and nearby unit numbers. Other places were not of concern to the paratrooper school with only 3,000 people.
"Who the hell arranged this battle? It's defensive everywhere and there's not enough troops everywhere. It's stupid. It's really stupid. The troops defending on the ground should be sent into the mountains. Then they can lure the enemy deeper, and then attack from the side."
Tactical flank attack is of course a good tactical means to attack the enemy's offensive troops, and then force the attackers to concentrate their forces to attack the heavily defended mountain defense battle.
pity……
By this time, the Chairman of the Generalissimo had already crippled the same adjustment division of the Central Army on the Songhu battlefield, and even the heavy artillery from the Japanese warships had consumed the veterans of the local army who had fought for years for warlord hegemony.
At this time, the troops were no longer able to organize a decent tactical attack. Especially against the Central Army, the even replenishment of local security corps did not substantially improve the attack power of each unit.
While Hansen was talking nonsense, Zhang Sixing just turned his head and looked at him quietly.
"Oh, sir, I'm sorry. We think about the problem we are facing now. If they don't hit us, then we will hit them. I will lead the pistol battalion to attack and flank the Japanese troops who bypass us on both sides."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Sixing shook his head,
"Let's just eat. I don't want to leave my men on the plains and give them to the Japanese heavy artillery and air force."
