Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

The headquarters of the Japanese army Shan Yuandashan!

Shan Yuan Dashan received information from the spies at Madang Fortress that Li Yunheng, commander of the 16th Army, mobilized officers from the army to hold training courses.

Now Li Yunheng's vigilance has been completely put down. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack. The imperial army had better launch an attack at dawn!

A sneer appeared on Shan Yuandashan's lips: "Order!"

"At dawn tomorrow, attack across the board and capture Madang Fortress in one fell swoop."

"Hi!" Shan Yuandashan's adjutant nodded.

At dawn the next day, when the sky was just getting dark, sparse gunfire came from the river. As soon as the gunfire rang out, Bao Changyi woke up!
Bao Changyi got out of bed and rushed out of his room: "Where to shoot? Where to shoot?"

While running, Bao Changyi shouted, and the soldier on guard quickly replied: "Captain!"

"The place where the gunshots were fired is a bit far away from us, but what I am sure of is that the commanders on the position where the gunshots were fired were all transferred to participate in the training class."

Hearing this, Bao Changyi cursed: "What the hell... Li Yunheng, this bastard, should be brought to a military court."

"Brothers, prepare to fight, the Japanese army will attack soon."

After saying that, Bao Changyi took out his telescope and observed the entire river. Although the sky was not completely bright yet, with only the subtle light, Bao Changyi still discovered some abnormalities on the river.

I saw some people in yellow military uniforms vaguely appearing on the river. Bao Changyi's eyes narrowed and he shouted: "Mortar!"

"Aim it for me and shoot five shots to see the effect."

After receiving the order, the mortar gunners on the position began to shell the river. After a burst of shelling, the fog on the river was dispersed.

I saw Japanese warships hiding in the Yangtze River. The ships were all full of Japanese officers and soldiers. At the same time, on the flank position, a battalion of Chinese defenders had long disappeared. A group of Japanese soldiers were lying in the Chinese trenches. .

The flanking position had been lost. This was the first thought in Bao Changyi's mind. Damn it, this little devil came too fast. How come a whole battalion of people didn't make any movement, and the Japanese army was completely wiped out.

"Signal Corps... call Jinbaoshan immediately!"

Bao Changyi shouted, he wanted to know now, what is the situation at Jinbaoshan?
"Report..." The signal soldier came to Bao Changyi's side: "Captain, the phone can't be connected, I've sent someone to repair it!"

"What the hell..." Bao Changyi roared. It must have been at dawn that the Japanese army launched a full-scale attack, and communications should have been cut off by the Japanese army.

"Send out scouts!" Bao Changyi closed his eyes and suddenly opened them: "Scout the surrounding situation for me."

The scouts were sent out, and Bao Changyi hoped to bring him good news!

After a while, a group of scouts came back and reported to Bao Changyi: "Captain, all the Xiangkou positions have been lost."

"On the position and on Xiangkou Street, there are all Japanese troops, including the army and the marines."

Immediately, several subsequent scouts also came back and reported on the situation they had detected. In short, the current situation in several positions of Madang Fortress was very bad.

The phone couldn't be reached, so Bao Changyi had to report to the garrison headquarters of Wuhan Jiang Defense Fortress via radio. The Madang Fortress was attacked by the Japanese army and many positions had been lost. At the same time, the telephone line was cut off by the Japanese army.

Unable to contact friendly forces, I hope the Jiangfang Fortress Headquarters will coordinate the overall situation immediately!

At this time, Xie Zhe, the commander of Jiangfang Fortress Headquarters, was completely confused after receiving Bao Changyi's report!

The Nationalist Government spent a lot of money to build the Madang Fortress, hiring all Europa military attachés and designers. Almost all the funds for this fortress were fully funded, and no one dared to mess around. The fortress had just been built not long ago.This fortress is much stronger than the previous defense fortifications in the Songhu area. At least in the overall construction, no one dares to cut corners. After the entire fortress was completed, the Japanese army organized a fleet to prepare to attack and capture it!
However, when the Japanese Navy's 11th Squadron arrived at the Madang Fortress, they were hit hard by Chinese firepower. The entire 11th Squadron fled in a hurry, leaving behind countless corpses.

This battle also allowed many generals of the Republic of China to see the power of Madang Fortress. This is simply a man who can guard the throat of the Yangtze River. If the Japanese warships want to attack along the Yangtze River, it is simply an egg against a stone.

After this battle, the Japanese army also began to re-examine the Madang Fortress.

This fortress really cannot be underestimated. If a strong attack is not possible, then we can only re-plan.

As a result, Japanese spies began to operate around the Madang Fortress, and Li Yunheng wanted to hold a training class. This was simply pie in the sky.

If the Japanese spies hadn't carefully examined Li Yunheng's resume and learned that this person was a serious member of the Republic of China army and had no connection with the Japanese army, they would have been a little suspicious that Li Yunheng was a Japanese special high-tech personnel who had penetrated into the enemy's territory. A senior spy.

Bao Changyi also reported to Xie Zhegang that Li Yunheng held a training class and dispatched grassroots officers for training.

After learning the news, Xie Zhegang was so angry that he cursed "a bastard" on the phone, and then told Bao Changyi to hold his position and he would immediately send reinforcements.

After hanging up the phone, Bao Changyi accepted several soldiers who escaped from the Xiangshan position.

After a simple exchange, Bao Changyi learned that the Japanese army began to land at four in the morning, and that there were Japanese spies ambushing Xiangshan Street on the position. The two sides cooperated tacitly and attacked the garrison.

Since all the grassroots officers in Xiangshan had gone to the training course, there were no officers to command the troops, and the soldiers did not organize effective resistance at all. Under the strong firepower of the Japanese army, almost all the soldiers in the entire Xiangshan position and a battalion were killed!

"Damn..." Bao Changyi said angrily: "Li Yunheng, this bastard, should be shot."

Bao Changyi had just finished cursing when suddenly there was a sharp sound of airflow in the sky. As a navy, he was very familiar with it. This was the sound of large-caliber artillery.

"It's anti-cannon!"

"Attention is paid to me. Squat down...and be on guard against cannons..."

Bao Changyi shouted, and he himself squatted in the trench.

"Boom!——"

After the ground shook for a while, Bao Changyi saw that his position was being bombarded by ten large-caliber Japanese artillery pieces. Not far from him, a shell crater appeared. Bao Changyi immediately jumped into it and squatted down.

"Xiangshan... Xiangshan..." Bao Changyi muttered in his heart: "The direction of the bombardment came from Xiangshan, and the Japanese army established an artillery position in Xiangshan."

Bao Changyi's position is on Changshan. Xiangshan is higher than Changshan. The Japanese artillery fire is from a commanding position, which has a natural advantage.

After the Japanese army opened fire, there were also artillery positions on the naval position in Changshan. The artillery position in Changshan also knew that the artillery position in Xiangshan must be destroyed, otherwise it would pose a great threat to Changshan.

The naval officers and soldiers at the Changshan Artillery Position began to bombard Xiangshan.However, the effect of this bombardment was not very good.

Because the defenders on the Changshan position were the navy, the navy's artillery skills were still practiced in direct aiming, which was like attaching bayonets to the cannon. Although the navy also began to practice indirect aiming after landing ashore.

However, the accuracy is far less than that of the army artillery. In addition, Xiangshan is originally higher than Changshan, and the Japanese artillery positions are set up on reverse slopes, making the artillery attack even more difficult.

The naval artillerymen's first round of shelling was almost all about sheep herding, and they did not hit the Japanese artillery position in Xiangshan at all.

"Alas..." On the artillery position in Changshan, the naval artillery commander saw that the first round of artillery fire missed, and he punched the ground in anger. (End of chapter)
