Chapter 48 Wulong Mountain Fortress

Zhang Gang didn't care either. Taking advantage of people not paying attention, he stuffed a Zuoguan knife to the reception officer Niu, and the atmosphere became more harmonious immediately.

After several considerations, Zhang Gang chose the Wulong Mountain Fortress, where the Yangtze River is guarded. As long as it can be defended, those soldiers who retreated from Nanjing can retreat. The strategic significance is self-evident.

Staff Officer Niu was a little surprised, and for the sake of Zuo Guandao, he didn't say much. After stamping the big seals of the Ministry of National Defense and the City Defense Force, he suddenly asked: "General Zhang, Wulong Mountain Fortress has a wide terrain. You must not let go of the little devil’s ship.”

The words came so abruptly that Zhang Gang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he continued: "Nanjing's soldiers are dangerous and fierce. If there are civilian boats crossing the river, I can't cut off their wealth."

As soon as he said this, Staff Officer Niu warmed up a lot: "Brother, at first glance, you are a sensible person, and I can't let you suffer, ten small yellow croakers per boat."

Zhang Gang shook his head: "How can this work? We are all brothers. How can I ask for money for helping out! By the way, I still have a few big ships that can hold 500 people at a time, and the speed is also fast. You can find someone for me every two hours. Fifty people will give you ten small yellow croakers!"

Staff Officer Niu was stunned. He rushed over thousands of miles away, brought many boats with him, and planned a strategy to win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. No wonder he became a general at a young age.

After the two negotiated the conditions, Staff Officer Niu gritted his teeth and wrote another letter of appointment, appointing Zhang Gang as the commander-in-chief of the Wulong Mountain defense line to control the surrounding troops participating in the war.

This order is actually exceeding the authority, but for the sake of the little yellow croaker, it is worth fighting for.

With three letters of appointment, Zhang Gang arrived at Wulongshan Fortress and took over the defense of Wulongshan Fortress.

The Wulong Mountain Fortress is divided into two parts, one is the Wulong Mountain Fort, and the other is the Jiayi Fort. You can tell from the name that it is not a serious fort. It has two 88 rapid-fire guns and two 75 field guns.

Wulongshan Fort is much more luxurious, with 4 88 anti-aircraft guns and 8 75 field guns.

The director of the Wulongshan Fort is an old soldier with gray hair and his surname is Yang. He is only a major over half a century old, and he is very cooperative with Zhang Gang to familiarize himself with the terrain.

After walking around, Zhang Gang had a general understanding of the situation in the Wulong Mountain area. The Wulong Mountain Fortress had a battalion of standing defenders, 10 75 field guns, and 6 88 anti-aircraft guns.

On the opposite side of the boat, there are most of the personnel of the Chinese navy, about 4000 people, and dozens of Hotchkiss rapid-fire guns.

Facing an enemy with superiority in sea and air, the Chinese Navy lost all its cruisers and destroyers, leaving only a few gunboats.

To the north, the Second Front Army was stationed in the Caozhuang area of ​​Yangfang Mountain, and further south was the Zijin Mountain where the Teaching Corps was stationed.

Zhang Gang didn't know what to say about this arrangement. The main battle in this battle of Nanjing was the Japanese army. According to the custom, the Japanese navy would definitely not make much effort.

Historically, the Japanese Navy, with hundreds of cruisers and destroyers, moved slowly. It waited until the Chinese army was completely defeated and the Wulongshan Fortress was destroyed and left, before entering the Nanjing River.

Ten thousand steps back, even if the little devil's navy really attacked aggressively, the 47mm hotchkiss rapid-fire guns would not be of much use, and the damage from the 75 field guns would not be as great.

By doing this in Qiaozikou, it was tantamount to trapping this rare mobile unit.

On the Yangfangshan side, the typical full-line defense is deployed. The 41st and 48th divisions of the Second Front Army are both three brigades and six regiments. There are more than 2 people in total, and their weapons and equipment are excellent.

But Xu Yuanquan is an old fox, seeing the situation is not good, he will be the first to run away.

Historically, this guy hid [-] boats, and Tang Shengzhi gave the order, and he led his troops and ran away by boat.

It's too difficult for me, the dishes of my teammates are so smooth, or with this small 2 people, I can make the little devil drink a pot.

I have to find a way to push Xu Yuanquan to the front, bah, I have to make a fortune with Xu Yuanquan.

Without stopping, Zhang Gang took four 88mm rapid-fire guns and five 75 field guns, and found Xu Yuanquan, the commander of the Second Army.

"These are all good things. I wonder what General Zhang wants from me?" Xu Yuanquan looked at the 88mm rapid-fire gun, his eyes narrowed with a smile.

This is an anti-aircraft gun made in Germany. It is accurate and ruthless. With the addition of four 75 field guns, the artillery of the entire army is not so powerful.

Zhang Gang smiled: "General Xu, I want to change to another regiment. Don't worry, listen to me. My regiment is stationed in Yinkong Mountain to protect the rear of the Second Army. If the Second Army does not withdraw, I am determined." Do not withdraw!"

Xu Yuanquan was full of suspicion: "But, General Zhang, you won't gain anything by doing this."

"General Xu, after this battle is over, as many people as are left will belong to me, isn't that a good thing?"

Xu Yuanquan thought for a long time, looked at the four 88mm rapid-fire guns and four 75 field guns, and was tempted: "Okay, I will give you the 238th regiment, and you hold the position for me. If the position is lost, don't care what you have." For the sake of face, I will kill you."

Zhang Gang smiled: "Of course, General Xu, I have another suggestion. I am short of boats. If you have boats, I will give you a small yellow croaker for ten people."

Xu Yuanquan looked at Zhang Gang and was furious: "General Zhang, I didn't expect that you are such a person, in the face of a national crisis, you don't want to resist the Japanese invaders, and you take the opportunity to make a fortune from the national calamity!"

Zhang Gang was not afraid at all: "General Xu, five people and one small yellow croaker, if you don't agree, I can find the boat myself."

Xu Yuanquan sneered: "General Zhang is really good at telling jokes. If you can take out a boat, I, Old Xu, will lend you twenty boats without saying a word. If you can't take it out, these guns will be regarded as an apology."

Zhang Gang laughed loudly: "Okay, let's go to the riverside and see if there are any boats."

The two came to the riverside with the guards. Xu Yuanquan looked at the river and felt that something was wrong: "General Zhang, where is the boat, why didn't I see it?"

Zhang Gang is not in a hurry, there is a system, so are you afraid that there will be no boat?
turn on the system
Directly avoiding the gold, Zhang Gang searched for a while in the silver, and finally found the target

[LCVP landing craft: 25000 points]

Zhang Gang directly exchanged for one, and his points fell below [-], which made him feel distressed for a while. During this period of time, he only got out but not in, and his points dropped too hard.

Following the prompts of the system, Zhang Gang walked to the side of a water bubble, lifted the hidden net of the cover, and said to Xu Yuanquan with a smile: "Look, isn't this all there?"

The LCMP landing craft is 10 meters long and 3 meters wide, about the size of a classroom. The wooden shell is painted with metallic gray paint, which looks high-end at first glance.

"This..." Xu Yuanquan was shocked, he turned thousands of miles and brought a big boat over, this kid is too powerful.
