The gunfire near the Confucius Temple in the south gradually disappeared. Han Baihang heard it clearly near the Drum Tower. Without the soldiers under his command reporting it, he knew that Gao Hongyi had eliminated the enemies who came to support him.
Han Baihang still has this confidence in Gao Hongyi. Furthermore, the two brigades he sent to block the opponent's brigade came to support. This was originally a one-sided battle, and the combat effectiveness of his troops was greater than that of the opponent.
Strong, so there is nothing to worry about.
Although the enemies in the Drum Tower were numerous and defended by nearly two brigades, due to Han Baihang's attack on the periphery, they did not dare to come out to support even if they heard that the friendly troops in the Confucius Temple in the south were blocked. At this time, from Nanjing Port,
The reinforcements had also arrived at the Drum Tower, but just when they wanted to go to support the Confucius Temple, the battle was already over.
This battle was fought so quickly that the defenders were not given any time to react.
Even though the defenders in Nanjing were divided into three defenses, and support would take a certain amount of time, they never expected that the battle would end so quickly, and they were caught off guard.
Brigadier Xu did not expect that after so many years of traveling from north to south and fighting in the east and west, his entire army would be wiped out in this place today. Yes, there was certainly a reason for his wrong judgment, and it was also because he did not listen to the commander of the second regiment.
He sent soldiers to conduct reconnaissance, but in the final analysis, he still underestimated the strength of the opponent Fengjun.
In Brigadier Xu's impression, the most powerful Fengjun Army is the Fengjun Third Army Corps. After fighting for so many years, he is confident that even if he encounters Zhang Xueliang's troops, he will dare to compete with them. Therefore,
Therefore, he did not take Feng Jun in front of him seriously.
But who knew that the combat effectiveness of the army in front of him was unexpected, and it was even more powerful than the Third Army. This was something he never expected, so he dared to advance so carelessly, and he was hit by the enemy's attack.
The result of this carelessness was that Brigadier Xu paid all the price.
The annihilation of the Confucius Temple reinforcements gave Han Baihang a greater chance to capture Nanjing. At this time, he no longer had to worry about attacks from behind. He only needed to face the reinforcements from Drum Tower and Nanjing Port head-on.
Gao Hongyi ended the battle at Chaotianmen and returned with his troops. The power of Fengjun's offensive surged instantly.
After Gao Hongyi returned to his combat position, he quickly ran to Han Baihang and said: "Commander, I have successfully completed the task you assigned me. Please give me your instructions!"
Han Baihang laughed, placed his right hand heavily on Gao Hongyi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Not bad, like the soldiers I brought out, the time was just right, within half an hour!"
Gao Hongyi also smiled and said: "That's right, don't look at who brought us out. Dealing with these ignorant boys is not something we can easily do. If I hadn't taken a nap there and overslept.
, I guess I'll be back on duty in ten minutes!" Gao Hongyi boasted a little, and the soldiers beside him laughed.
Han Baihang also burst out laughing and said, "You said you were fat and you were breathless. If I hadn't pulled you, you would have floated into the sky. Why are you so proud? This battle is not over yet!"
Gao Hongyi quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Yes... yes, what the teacher taught me is that our skills are not all taught by the teacher. If we want to say that this battle is good, it is because you taught me well, teacher!"
After Gao Hongyi said this, everyone laughed again.
Han Baihang nodded solemnly and said: "Yes! I think what you said makes sense!"
All joking aside, Han Baihang still admired Gao Hongyi's battle in his heart. Not to mention the difficulty of completing the task in half an hour, and the choice of ambush location also tested a military commander's strategic and tactical vision.
Yes, sometimes even if you have an advantage in numbers and combat power, you still won't be able to complete the mission if you choose the wrong ambush location.
Furthermore, Gao Hongyi's tactics are also close to perfect. This "close the door and beat the dog" tactic requires a perfect layout, and he did it. However, this tactic is very risky. If "close the door and beat the dog" cannot be closed,
Well, it will become a "dog jumping over the wall", and you will be bitten hard by then.
However, Gao Hongyi finally arranged a move of "chili noodles", which basically made the surrounded enemy troops give up hope of resistance. This must be said to be Gao Hongyi's commanding wisdom on the spot.
Being able to adapt to local conditions on the battlefield and act in accordance with the times is an important condition for a general to be considered outstanding. In this battle, Gao Hongyi fully demonstrated his talent in this aspect, and Han Baihang was very pleased.
As long as the enemy's reinforcements in the south are dealt with, this battle will become much easier.
At present, the defenders in the direction of Gulou have merged with the reinforcements in the direction of Nanjing Port, and their number is probably close to one division. However, this is not a big threat to Han Baihang, because he clearly knows that as long as they have the same strength,
, almost no army can confront him head-on. In this case, he has nothing to worry about.
Han Baihang gave the soldiers who had just returned from the battle a chance to rest, and then ordered Huzi and Shitou to lead a regiment of troops to conduct a feint attack from the left. He led a regiment of troops to attract firepower from the front, while Gao Hongyi led the remaining troops.
All the troops were responsible for assisting from the right side and taking down the enemy in the Drum Tower in one fell swoop.
Gao Hongyi, Huzi Shitou and others all know that the most dangerous thing about such a layout is Han Baihang, who is attracting firepower from the front, because it is easiest for the enemy to detect the enemy's troop strength when facing the enemy head-on. Once the enemy finds out that Han Baihang does not have many troops in the front, he will definitely take the initiative.
If we attack, the situation will be unimaginable.
Gao Hongyi, Hu Zishitou and others were unwilling to let Han Baihang take risks, and repeatedly asked themselves to take on the task of attracting firepower from the front. However, in the face of Han Baihang's strict military orders, they could only obey the orders obediently.
Seeing them like this, Han Baihang smiled and said: "Look at what you all look like. I have fought more battles than you have walked. As the coach, I naturally have an idea in my mind. On the battlefield
The military order is as above, do you want to disobey the order on the battlefield or something? Go down and execute it!"
Everyone knew that although Han Baihang was stern on the surface, he was only thinking about them, so he did not argue anymore and went to arrange the tasks obediently. But deep down in their hearts, they were all working hard silently, and they must draw the firepower.
