War of Resistance

Chapter 457 Battle of Zhangshan ([-])

Half an hour later, Zhang Tianhai announced the official battle when the military chief officers were not in place except the first battalion, artillery battalion, supply battalion, small artillery company, special agent company, and guard platoon, and the rest of the military chief officers were in place. Order.

Defensive location, Zhangshan.

The first battalion is the main position, with the second battalion and the fourth battalion as the left and right wings respectively, forming an arc-shaped defensive position on the mountainside of Zhangshan; The battalion, as the mobile force of the regiment, is attached to the mobile communication squad and is responsible for guarding the Xigaohuangmiao, and responding to the main position at any time; the third battalion, the main force of the infantry, serves as the general reserve; the mortar company directly under the regiment headquarters strengthens the defense of the main position; After completing the task of assisting the artillery battalion and the small artillery company to go up the mountain, the secret service company and the guard platoon received direct command from the regiment headquarters; the military police company formed a wartime supervisory team as a ranking unit and separated the battalions in the main position.

After accepting the task, the battalions and companies immediately started to act. Under Zhang Tianhai's order, the war machine of Zhiyituan had been slowly activated!

Group after group of officers and soldiers of the Central Army, under the command of the platoon commander and company commander, began to march into the Zhangshan position.

Unlike usual, the officers and soldiers of Zhiyi Regiment entered the mountain without lighting torches, but took advantage of the moonlight to illuminate it and went straight in.It's not for other reasons, it's because they alarmed the enemy, but because they dare not attack Zhangshan.

This order was specially issued by Zhang Tianhai. Since the Japanese army wanted to enter Zhangshan, and entered in such a hurry, they must have no time to conduct a large number of investigations.

Therefore, Zhang Tianhai wanted to start from this point, in order to hit the Japanese army hard at the beginning. When the Japanese army found out that Mount Zhang had fallen into the hands of others, it might be too late for them to capture Mount Zhang. , the pursuers of Tang Enbo's army were about to surround them.

Generally speaking, it is still Zhang Tianhai's previous fighting style - winning by taking risks.

Not only that, but he also set up the regiment headquarters closest to the main position of the first battalion.

That night, Zhang Tianhai's first regiment directly under the third war zone had been busy all night, and finally completed the mission of the whole regiment to enter the mountain.

It was also in the middle of the night that the main force of the Japanese army guarding Taierzhuang finally tore a gap from the main position of the Second Army of the National Army, and expanded the gap. The main force protruded from the gap to encircle the encirclement, and then quickly headed towards Yi County. turn in direction.

After the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone confirmed that the main force of the Isoya Division would open a gap to retreat from the Second Army's position, not only the main force of Tang Enbo's army launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army from south to north, but even Sun Lianzhong's first The Second Group Army also rushed out of the city, marching hand in hand with Tang Enbo's army, and pursued the Japanese army.

However, what is unexpected is that the main force of the Japanese army had already arrived at Zhangshan before dawn.

And it was killed shortly after Zhang Tianhai's regiment headquarters was set up.

This group of enemy troops directly bypassed Lanling Town, the county seat of Lanling County, and then fled to the beneficiary, which scared the deputy commander of Lanling City Defense Gu Shi'an, thinking that the Japanese army was going to attack Lanling County.

After seeing the army of Tang Enbo's army chasing the Japanese army, Gu Shi'an had the courage to order the two city defense battalions under his command who had just learned how to hold guns to go out of the city to pursue.

I have to say that Gu Shi'an's move is very bold. In case the Japanese army kills a carbine, just relying on the city defense battalion who has just learned how to hold a gun to stay in the city defense, it does not necessarily require the Japanese army to attack the city to collapse. That is, the Japanese army used a burst of [-]-born heavy howitzers to bombard the city defense of Lanling County indiscriminately, which may cause the city defense battalion to collapse, or even bomb the battalion.

The camera returns to Mount Zhang.

The Zhangshan Mountain in the darkness is rolling and rolling, but it is not like those in the southern virgin forest. After all, these are a few hills standing on the Wanli Plain, which are a bit abrupt and not very high.

It is said that its location is dangerous, mainly because there are no other higher landmarks in Yixian County except for Jiuding Mountain, Zhang Mountain, Tianzhu Mountain, and Baishan Mountain.

For this unobstructed plain, these peaks must be commanding heights, natural observation posts for artillery, and can extend and enlarge the range of artillery artillery.

Thanks to Zhang Tianhai's remnants of memory, and his understanding of the terrain of the war, that's why he focused on fortifying the Zhangshan area, even when Zhiyituan might be mobilized at any time , It is still necessary to draw out a main battalion of troops to fortify the Zhangshan area.

Ichiro Ozawa is an ordinary lieutenant squadron leader of the tenth regiment of the No.30 Third Brigade (Brigade Chief Seya Kai) under the Isoya Rensuke Division.

Ozawai Ichiro is not tall, only 1.6 meters tall, but he has a thick body.

At this time, Ichiro Ozawa was no longer as calm and arrogant as before, and he was busy running for his life. More precisely, he was running for his life with a purpose.

Long before the breakout, the captain of the regiment, Akashiba Yaezo, summoned the surviving officers of the [-]th regiment and held a relatively brief military combat meeting.

At the military meeting, in addition to announcing the breakout order issued by Lieutenant General Rensuke Isoya, the head of the division, they were also informed that the remaining main force of the [-]th Regiment should join the remnant main force of the Sato Regiment of the [-]th Division. March to Zhangshan, and allocate another artillery squadron.

The main force of the two regiments sounds like a lot of people, but don't forget, they are remnants, and the total strength of the two regiments is only about [-] people, and they are only available after they are paired with the artillery squadron. number of people.

As we all know, the artillery unit is the only one among the various services that does not need to go to the front line to fight against the enemy's first-line troops, so their personnel are relatively sufficient.

In other words, there are more than 800 artillery units among the two thousand and 100 people.

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and Ichiro Ozawa had been running. After all, he was running for his life. If he ran a little slower, he would be killed by the Chinese army that caught up behind him. At that time, he would not even have his life. .

"Godfather (hold on), brothers, Zhangshan is just ahead!" As the commander of the opening force, Ozawai Ichiro can be said to be in the lead.

The hazy figure of Mount Zhang in the darkness gradually appeared in front of everyone. This scene gave the running Japanese devils a lot of hope. It looks like someone is guarding it.

This should be due to Zhang Tianhai's order that everyone not be allowed to light torches. If they found that there was a light on the mountain, they might have marched directly to Yixian County, where the Japanese troops retreated before.

"Say, Kudai, hey (Come on, brothers)!!" Ozawai Ichiro shouted as he dragged his tired and heavy body forward, as if he wanted to give these Japanese soldiers who were about to die. Inject a little cardiotonic.

However, contrary to his wishes, his loud cry didn't seem to have any effect, but instead woke up the national army on Zhangshan Mountain.

That's right, it was a big wake-up call.

In this big mountain, it was pitch black everywhere, and it was very quiet. It can be said that there were almost no other sounds except for the sound of engineering shovels on the top of the mountain.

And the Japanese army was approaching Zhangshan, not only were they walking in disorder, but also there were these low-level Japanese officers screaming strangely to cheer up the soldiers.

This burst of shouts was killing people, it was too abrupt, and it was obviously Japanese!
