"Take your brigade to follow the commissioner and follow the command of the commissioner."
"yes."
Guo Qiyun couldn't ask for it.
This is the first time he has worked with Zhang Yong on the battlefield.
However, he did not have much confidence in his troops. His troops belonged to the second line.
Around Wanjialing, the most elite main force is of course Wang Yaowu's 74th Army, then the 4th Army, and then the 65th Army.
These three armies formed the First Corps. The commander was Xue Yue, and the deputy commander-in-chief of the war zone.
The brigade where Guo Qiyun is located is affiliated with the 65th Army. However, the 65th Army itself was actually transferred from Lingnan, and its predecessor was the Guangdong Army.
"How many people are there in your army?"
“More than three thousand three hundred.”
"Enough."
Zhang Yong nodded.
His tactics are different from those of ordinary people.
In fact, he mainly focused on the heavy weapons of the Japanese invaders.
The 106th Division, 108th Division and 27th Division of the Japanese invaders did not have large caliber howitzers. Only mountain cannons.
In mountainous hilly areas, large caliber howitzers are difficult to move. They are far less effective than 75mm mountain cannons and 70mm infantry cannons.
To this end, the Japanese invaders allocated the weapons of these three divisions.
Each infantry corps is overequipped with a mountain artillery brigade, that is, twelve mountain artillery.
In addition, each infantry brigade is equipped with four infantry artillery over the standard, and the organization is two.
Although there were no large-caliber artillery, the Japanese invaders' artillery fire was still very fierce. Therefore, it was not easy for the national army to eat them.
Xue Yue wanted to fight quickly, but the troops he mobilized were not enough.
Although the Japanese army marched in mountainous hills, the national army was also slow.
In addition to the First Corps, other national troops are also more than 100 kilometers away. This is a straight-line distance.
In fact, it often takes five or six days to get there.
Looking at the mountains, the horses are dead. They are all rugged mountain roads.
Zhang Yong's mission is to completely kill the Japanese mountain artillery and infantry artillery.
The Japanese invaders who did not have heavy weapons to cover them only end up being destroyed.
"map."
"have."
Guo Qiyun ordered the staff to bring the map.
Zhang Yong locked the first target against the map of the air finger and the radar map.
It is a mountain cannon position of the 27th Division of the Japanese invaders. It has twelve mountain cannons, which are just at the fulcrum of the defense line. It is extremely harmful.
The surrounding national troops launched repeated attacks, and they were probably forced to retreat by the Japanese artillery fire.
The Kuomintang army probably suffered a lot of casualties.
Zhang Yong picked up the red pencil and drew a circle on the map, "Let's go clean up here first."
"Tianma Mountain? Then we have to pass through the 74th Army position." Guo Qiyun had no objection. He would do whatever Zhang Yong said.
As it turns out, it is the easiest to fight with the Commissioner.
Just execute the commands by mechanically.
There is almost no brain-use.
"Walk!"
"yes!"
The troops set off soon.
Advance along the mountain road.
Soon, we met soldiers from the 74th Army.
A colonel rushed over, covered in mud and smelled of gunpowder.
The sleeves were rolled up, with blood stains on them, and there was a wound on the elbow. There was no bandage, there was blood stasis, and some solidification.
The military uniforms were also torn apart. It felt like they were picked up by the Japanese bayonet? Hand-to-hand combat?
He came to Zhang Yong, stood attentively and saluted.
"Report! Zhang Lingfu, the leader of the 305th Regiment, has met the Commissioner."
"you……"
Zhang Yong was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, the other party was Zhang Lingfu.
He is indeed a powerful player.
Although he was a famous reactionary in the future, he killed his wife and proved the truth. He was cruel and cruel. But now...
Judging from this guy's appearance, he is indeed fighting the Japanese invaders.
It is obviously a bit of qualification to be able to serve as the commander of the reorganized 74th Division in the future.
Without fighting on the battlefield, who can stand firmly as the commander of the 74th Army?
"You have fought with the Japanese invaders in hand-to-hand combat?"
"The Japanese devils wanted to attack and counterattack, but we were defeated."
"Strike back?"
"Yes. The Japanese invaders have been organizing small troops to fight back, with dozens of people, up to a hundred people each time. They often come out of unexpected places. They are hard to defend."
"knew."
Zhang Yong nodded.
Indeed, this is how it is in mountain combat.
No one knows how many roads are nearby and where can they be accessed.
At night, the enemy may come out from somewhere at any time. Your troops will not cover all exits.
If you are not lucky, the Japanese invaders may directly kill you to your command center.
Of course, you can also organize a counterattack and break into the hinterland of the Japanese invaders.
A close fight.
The bayonet is red.
The battle may be small. But the result may be very bloody.
Not to mention that Zhang Lingfu, a regiment commander, was injured. Even a more senior officer might have sacrificed his life. It was still silent.
As the Japanese invaders approached Wuhan, the scale of the battlefield expanded again, and all the troops on both sides of the enemy and us were launched. Fighting was everywhere.
From Guangzhou, the southernmost part, to Nanchang, Hankou, Luoyang...
The Japanese invaders were attacking with all their might, trying to end the war as soon as possible.
"We are going to Tianma Mountain."
"please."
"Are your army commander here?"
"The military throne has gone to the 57th Division. Maybe you will meet him in front."
"good."
Zhang Yong nodded and took the troops by.
At the same time, Zhang Lingfu was replenished with some ammunition and prepared for a long-term battle.
Keep moving forward.
Wang Yaowu, who received the news, came to greet him.
“Specialist…”
"Captain Wang."
Zhang Yong felt a little moved.
Wang Yaowu's face was very haggard.
He was ragged and didn't look like a commander at all.
The other officers around him were also terrible and tired. They seemed to be able to fall asleep just by standing.
Xue Yue's order was to end the battle as soon as possible. Therefore, the 74th Army organized continuous offensives, and the troops were very tired and suffered heavy casualties.
"Captain Wang, I have discussed with Chief Xue and temporarily slow down the offensive."
"No more attack? If the Japanese reinforcements come..."
"It is to let the Japanese reinforcements arrive and then fight a big annihilation battle."
"good."
Wang Yaowu felt relieved.
The 74th Army has been fighting all the time, and is indeed very tired.
There are a lot of combat reductions, and there are also many non-combat reductions.
Even if we can get the most priority, the 74th Army often has less than 20,000 troops.
"This one is..."
"Reporting to the Commissioner, I am humble to serve Cheng Wan."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong nodded.
Many familiar historical figures.
Yu Chengwan and Changde had a bloody battle. They should have made great achievements. They were eventually sentenced.
Bald heads often have mysterious operations, destroying the Great Wall by themselves, and deserve to go to the isolated island in the end.
He almost lost all those who can fight.
A bunch of rice buckets left.
"Specialist, you are going..."
"Tianma Mountain."
"Oh, please!"
Wang Yaowu took Zhang Yong through the defense zone.
Zhang Yong also added some ammunition to him, mainly 60mm mortar shells.
In mountainous hilly combat, the status of mortars is very important. It can almost be said to be the most useful weapon. The Japanese invaders have advantages in this regard.
The 90mm mortar equipped by the Japanese invaders is very powerful. There is also the 92 infantry cannon, which has a large shooting angle. It can be used as a mortar.
keep going.
Passing by a valley, bring a launcher.
Of course, Zhang Yong released it from his portable space. There were only twenty, which were enough.
When fighting in mountainous areas, sometimes rockets are not very good. Because the ballistics are relatively straight, they cannot hit the back of the mountain and cannot hit the inside of the valley.
Fortunately, there is a radar map for help, and you can prepare to find the best place based on the nearby terrain.
Tianma Mountain is the rocket launching position chosen by Zhang Yong.
From here, you can hit the Japanese 75mm mountain cannon position at a distance and destroy it.
At the same time, it can also cover most of the 90mm mortars and 92 infantry guns.
As long as it is within a radius of eight kilometers, it can be covered by artillery fire.
"quick!"
"quick!"
Arrive at Tianma Mountain.
Arrange the launcher.
aim.
"preparation!"
"put!"
"Jiuchi..."
"Jiuchi..."
Bright flames pierce the vast sky in the mountains.
Rockets fell toward the Japanese mountain cannon position, and then burst into flames.
Although there are only twenty launchers, 60 rockets were fired at a time. The distance was only five kilometers. The explosion was still very powerful.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
In an instant, the Japanese mountain cannon positions were in a mess.
This 75mm mountain cannon cannot withstand rocket bombing. Many of them shattered on the spot.
Of course, the Japanese artillery was also shattered by dense artillery fire.
Many people don’t know how to die after they die.
"Chirky chirp..."
"Chirky chirp..."
More rockets continue to fall.
Overturned the messy Japanese mountain cannon positions again.
Mountain cannon crushed...
The Japanese invaders smashed...
"Baga!"
"Where did the artillery fire come from?"
"ah……"
The captain of the Japanese mountain artillery brigade was quickly blown to pieces.
It was too late for him to report it. The radio station had been blown to pieces long ago.
Only a very small number of Japanese artillery soldiers found that something was wrong and rushed to flee far away, only then could they barely save their lives.
When the fourth round of gunfire was bombed, the radar map showed that there was no sign of mountain cannons.
Huh?
Killed so quickly?
OK, then move the target and bomb other Japanese artillery.
Check out your portable space.
The income is 30,000 yuan, and there are five gold bricks.
Very standard income.
However, Zhang Yong is no longer in trouble now.
Because there are too many opportunities.
As the Japanese invaders deepened, there were opportunities to annihilate the enemy everywhere.
As long as the bald man no longer ordered himself to go to Hankou to sit in wax, he could greet the Japanese division one by one.
"Chirky chirp..."
"Chirky chirp..."
The flames swept across the air gorgeously, bringing friendly greetings.
The 90mm mortar bombing the Japanese invaders...
The 1992 Infantry Artillery bombed the Japanese invaders...
The Type 92 heavy machine gun that bombed the Japanese invaders...
Wherever there are more red dots, there will be greetings by rockets...
Kill or bury.
Just fry it.
What remains is the infantry business.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
Among the mountains and ridges, the explosion continued.
The Japanese invaders immediately realized that something was wrong.
The devastating blow was the Watanabe United, the 27th Division of the Japanese invaders.
"Nani?"
"Are the Chinese coming for us?"
"Baga!"
Watanabe's face changed drastically.
Very bad signs.
They were originally going to rescue the 106th Division.
But now, it is very likely that he has become the prey of the Chinese army.
Such fierce artillery fire must be the main force of the Chinese army. I may have fallen into the trap of the Chinese army.
strangeness……
Which Chinese army is it? The artillery fire is so fierce.
The 27th Division was newly transferred. It turned out to be affiliated with the Kwantung Army's combat sequence. So I was completely unfamiliar with Zhang Yong.
Within the Japanese invaders, it is strictly forbidden to spread the name Zhang Yong. It is the most advanced taboo.
Except for a very small number of senior officers, the level of the corps captain is not known at all.
Even the division commander Masaharu Honma didn't know Zhang Yong.
"Prepare to fight back!"
"Prepare to fight back!"
Watanabe's hysterical order.
Such fierce artillery fire is likely to be the general attack of the Chinese army.
All the remaining Japanese invaders are on high alert.
At the same time, the division commander Masaharu Honma was urgently reported.
"Nani?"
"What exactly do Chinese people do?"
"Call us first?"
Honma Masaharu was confused, but calm.
He is still very confident about the 27th Division he commanded.
The 27th Division is organized by the third regiment. Each regiment has a mountain artillery brigade and has also strengthened mortars.
Although the entire division had only about 16,000 people. However, in the previous battles, the losses were not large. The main force was still intact.
If you encounter an enemy siege, you just need to stick to it tenaciously and it will definitely last for a period of time.
Then wait for reinforcements to arrive. Maybe break through by yourself.
"chief of staff!"
"Your Mightiness."
"What changes have happened to the enemy situation in person?"
"The division commander, no notification was received. No other corps were attacked."
Chief of Staff Report.
Only Watanabe United were attacked.
It seems that it may have encountered the enemy's main force?
Is it a pure encounter?
"Order Watanabe United to launch a counterattack to test the enemy's situation."
"Tie!"
The Chief of Staff went to pass the order.
Soon, Watanabe United began to fight back.
The Japanese invaders were indeed very tenacious and executed orders quite quickly.
They followed the mountain path and went quietly in the direction of artillery fire. There were many ways to penetrate and move forward in the middle.
Sure enough, Zhang Lingfu was right, the small attacks of the Japanese invaders were indeed very sinister.
Caught off guard, you may indeed be hit.
Fortunately, there is a radar map.
The red dot's every move is completely monitored.
"Guo Qiyun!"
"arrive!"
"The Japanese invaders are coming."
"oh?"
Guo Qiyun immediately cheered up.
In fact, he was quite bored just now. He just watched the rocket launch.
Because of the obstruction of the mountains and steep mountains, there is no trace of the Japanese invaders.
I don’t know how Zhang Yong discovered the Japanese invaders and how he targeted the Japanese invaders.
Now, the Japanese invaders are coming up. Finally there is work to do.
“Term at ten o’clock.”
“Distance 500 meters.”
Zhang Yong has basically finished his own work.
The Japanese invaders' mountain cannons, infantry cannons, and mortars were all destroyed.
There are no heavy weapons within the range of the radar map.
The rockets also caused certain casualties to the Japanese invaders, greatly weakening the combat effectiveness of the Japanese invaders.
However, in the subsequent battle, the role of rockets will be limited.
Rockets are not used for close combat.
There are also a large number of obstacles blocking the ballistic.
But it's okay.
Rockets are not used, and there are mortars.
Whether it is a 60mm mortar or an 81mm mortar, it is full.
Arrange delivery quietly.
A batch of 60mm mortars were sent. No 81mm.
It is not used for the time being. The distance between more than 1,000 meters is enough. The range does not need to be too far.
The 60mm mortar is also light enough. The 81mm is much heavier.
Wave and call a few officers and directly assign them to each company three doors.
Didn't say it!
Fuck it!
This kind of mountainous area is your home court!
In the plains, you still need to worry about the Japanese invaders' field artillery, and airplanes.
Here, there is nothing to worry about.
Just follow the map and eliminate the red dots one by one.
"Dadada..."
"Dadada..."
The gunshot suddenly rang.
It was the Japanese invaders who tried to fight back that they were shot.
They may never dream of hitting the firepower network.
In an instant, the bullets fell like rain.
All Japanese invaders were destroyed in a small team.
There is no chance to shoot.
"superior!"
"Train all the Japanese corpses back."
"There are no Japanese invaders behind. It's safe."
Zhang Yong waved his hand.
Immediately, a large group of national troops rushed forward.
They quickly pulled back all the bodies of the Japanese invaders.
Zhang Yong picked up a large 38 cover casually and pulled the bolt. A bullet jumped out of it.
Check out. Five bullets. Not a single one is missing.
Haha. It's right!
Want to attack!
Come on. I'm just waiting for the rabbit.
Bent over and took off the Japanese military boots. I found a little problem.
It was the Japanese invaders of this 27th Division who wore military boots, and the quality of the Japanese invaders' permanent division was obviously not as good as that of the 101st Division.
Sure enough, the military supplies of the Japanese invaders were all divided into levels. The standing divisions used the best. The 100+ divisions were followed. Then there were others.
Unfortunately, there were no Japanese troops standing divisions in this encirclement.
There are only the 106th Division that has been attacked, and the 108th Division that has not been encountered before.
The Japanese invaders' standing divisions all attacked along the Jiangbei region. They were getting closer and closer to Hankou.
fine.
The government is ready to give up Hankou.
Give up Hankou and give up fighting in the plains.
Turn to mountain combat.
It is also a strategy.
"Leave the things you can use and throw them all into the mountain stream."
"yes."
Everyone should do it quickly.
Soon, all the bodies of the Japanese invaders were pushed into the mountain stream.
"Bang……"
"Pu hook!"
Intermittent gunfire sounded.
It was the Japanese invaders from other directions that began to exchange fire. They were also hit by the national army.
Many Japanese invaders were beaten to death as soon as they appeared.
The Japanese invaders who suffered heavy losses hurriedly retreated and then reported to Watanabe.
Watanabe immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
This is not an encounter.
The enemy was prepared.
In other words, the enemy comes prepared.
What you plan is big.
"Nani?"
Honma Masaharu frowned.
Could it be that the Chinese army is really preparing to encircle and annihilate the 27th Division?
Could it be that what the Watanabe United encountered was really the vanguard of the Chinese army? The large army is still behind?
Once the main force of the Chinese army arrives, it is possible to form a siege?
"Your Excellency, don't take it lightly."
The Chief of Staff was worried.
He judged that it was the Chinese army's encirclement of the enemy and attacking aid.
It was to surround the 106th Division, deliberately not eliminate them all, and deliberately wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Then, halfway through the road, surrounded reinforcements and eliminated them. Then, turn back and eliminate the enemies they surrounded before. This is advocated by Sun Tzu's Art of War.
"Report to the 11th Army Command immediately."
"Tie!"
The Chief of Staff hurriedly went to make arrangements.
Soon, the telegram arrived at Jiujiang. The headquarters of the 11th Japanese Army had already entered here.
After receiving the telegram, Okamura Yanji's face turned gloomy.
He quickly determined that this matter was not simple.
The Chinese people have planned a lot.
Vaguely, he felt a little familiar smell.
After pondering for a moment, Okamura Yasuji ordered.
"Order the 108th Division to move closer to the 27th Division and fight side by side."
"Tie!"
Chief of Staff Yoshimoto Satoshi went to pass the order.
For some reason, he also felt that this situation seemed a bit familiar.
I just couldn't remember it for a while. Looking back, I felt that I might be thinking too much. The three divisions gathered together and everything would be fine.
The previous battles were always smooth. The Chinese army was retreating.
This time should be no exception.
However, when he came back again, his face looked very ugly.
He came to Okamura Yasuji very nervously.
Okamura Yasuji was also nervous.
"What's up?"
"Your Excellency, I learned privately that in the north, we had a conflict with the Soviets..."
"Nani?"
Okamura Yasuji's face changed drastically.
Oops!
The thing that is most worried about is coming.
Sure enough, while the main force of the Kwantung Army headed south, the Russians took action.
Damn it!
It was just at this time!
It's a juncture!
The senior executives of the Kwantung Army are about to jump.
They had previously firmly opposed the main force's going south to fight.
But the base camp repeatedly promised that as long as it took Hankou, it would immediately transfer the main force back.
result……
Now……
Something happened there before Hankou was taken down.
"Is the message accurate?"
"It was told by the people around Him Koiki Akira."
"Damn..."
Okamura Yasuji's face was dark.
Sure enough, the happy days are over. We are going to fight hard again.
There is no doubt that the base camp will immediately transfer the main division back to the north. It will never be possible to transfer it again in the future.
In other words, from now on, the Central China dispatched troops will face the problem of insufficient troops again.
but!
They haven't taken Hankou yet!
If the main force is drawn back at this time, when will Hankou be taken down?
"Report!"
A staff officer rushed over.
As soon as Yoshimoto Sadaki received the telegram, his face changed again.
"What's the matter?"
"Your Excellency, we received the information. Zhang Yong quietly arrived in Nanchang, and then went north mysteriously..."
