Fengxian Jiangshan

Zhanggufeng is a small mountain peak between China and Russia, with an altitude of 155.1 meters. It is located in the southeast of Hunchun City, Jilin Province, on the left bank of the Tumen River. word) less than 5 kilometers to the northwest.

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty signed the Aihui Treaty with Tsarist Russia, this place belonged to China's territory, but the Russians played a trick and changed the text of the treaty in Russian without permission, bringing this place under their own control.There is another small mountain 2 kilometers north of Zhanggu Peak, called Shacao Peak, with an altitude of 77.1 meters.On the east side of Zhanggu Peak is Hassan Lake in the shape of a north-south strip, on the west side is the small plain by the Tumen River, and is 1.5 kilometers away from Fangchuan Village in the south.

Although this is an inconspicuous small place, it is of great importance. Zhang Gufeng is the barrier of Vladivostok, and at the same time guards the mouth of the Tumen River. It is a nail nailed by China in the Sea of ​​Japan, with amazing strategic value.

Originally, it was a game between China, Russia and Japan, but since the establishment of the Far East Empire, Russia's position in the Far East has been replaced by Fengjun.Vladivostok has been leased by the Fengjun, and Zhang Gufeng has returned to the embrace of China. The Fengjun built a fort here and tied barbed wire.

The Japanese also knew the value of this place, so they coveted it. In the name of North Koreans going to Janggufeng to worship their ancestors, they asked spies to dress up as Koreans and come here to spy on intelligence from time to time. The two sides often clashed.

At this time, the swords between China and Japan were on the verge of breaking out. Han Shuo discovered the strange North Koreans again, and of course he would not let them go. They killed both of them.

In their pockets, they found a few pieces of paper, which happened to draw the terrain near Zhang Gufeng. These two guys were undoubtedly Japanese spies.

The gunshots broke the silence, and the Japanese on the opposite side were also alarmed. A small group of Japanese soldiers rushed towards Zhang Gufeng quickly.Han Shuo and the others were at a disadvantage.He could only return to Zhanggufeng's position, exchange fire with the Japanese, and report the situation to his superiors.

fire!

This news was like a heavy bomb that fell on everyone's heads. It was Qin Wei who was in charge of the Tumenjiang defense line. He had just got off the plane at this time and received a report from the front line. After seeing this report, Qin Wei was also taken aback.

During the battle deployment, only Zhang Tinglan noticed the front line of Tumen.And there may be a conflict in the prophecy, and the result turned out to be exactly as Zhang Tinglan predicted.The first shot on land with the Japanese did not happen in Fengtian, nor in southern Liaoning, but happened to appear in the small Zhanggufeng.

At this time, Qin Wei also had to admire Zhang Tinglan's monstrous foresight ability.How can this still be human thinking!

In fact, Qin Wei didn't know why Zhang Tinglan paid attention to this place.It is also because of the Zhang Gufeng incident in history.It made Zhang Tinglan think a little more than others.

But Qin Wei didn't know this, and his superstition towards Zhang Tinglan entered a new level.

"Immediately transfer a battalion to defend Zhanggufeng. The troops along the line are ready to fight and deal with the Japanese attack at any time."

After the order was conveyed, the army moved quite quickly.Soldiers on vacation returned to the barracks, weapons were issued, the shortage was made up, and food and military supplies were continuously delivered.Soldiers are mobilizing for battle, building fortifications, and building temporary airports.

Militiamen from all over the country mobilized, transported supplies, and repaired bridges and roads. After the baptism of war, the mobilization system of Fengjun showed unprecedented high efficiency.

At this time, Zhang Gufeng's battle was at its most intense, and the number of Japanese attacking troops had increased to a brigade. They forcibly crossed the Tumen River and used artillery cover to launch a fierce assault on Zhang Gufeng.

The sound of guns and guns rang together, and clouds of black smoke rose above the narrow high ground.Han Shuo had been stationed at Zhanggufeng for two consecutive days. Of the soldiers in the first squad, he was the only one who persisted. The others were either sacrificed or were sent to the rear for rescue due to injuries.

The Japanese rushed up from below again, and the rigorous and rigid three skirmish lines surged towards the mountain like waves.

"Quick, bullet!"

The hoarse voice of the machine gunner was shouting, da da da, da da da, the Maxim heavy machine gun made a hurried sound, and the Japanese hot ones were swept down one by one.

Han Shuo pointed his gun at a sergeant rushing forward, snap!A bullet accurately pierced his head, and there was another dead body on the hillside.

The fighting between the two sides has become more and more intense, but this can only be regarded as a microcosm of the entire front.Ever since the exchange of fire broke out in Zhang Gufeng, the Japanese also knew that there was only one choice at this time, and that was to fight!

At this time, the commander of the Kwantung Army was Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshinori. This guy also had many crimes. In the original history, he killed Zhang Zuolin when he was the Minister of War. Later, he led the army to provoke one or two The Eighth Incident, attacking Shanghai, with blood on both hands.

However, he did not end well. In 1932, under the order of Wang Yaqiao, the Korean Yi Bongji blew up Shirakawa Yoshinori to death at a ceremony, eradicating the executioner for the innocent people.

Right now, Bai Chuanyi is still in high spirits. In his hands, there are two complete divisions, namely the No.11 Division and the Sixth Division. These two divisions are all one of the permanent divisions in Japan. It is the Sixth Division, and it is a powerful force in the Japanese army.

During the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, the Sixth Division set foot on the land of China twice. They are very familiar with the Northeast, and they are Shirakawa Yoshinori's ace force.

Ever since King Kong and Kirishima were sunk, Bai Chuanyi knew that a big war was inevitable, so he personally set out to formulate a battle plan.Exactly as Feng Jun had guessed, he dispatched the Sixth Division as the main force to launch an attack along the South Manchuria Railway, with the goal directed at Haicheng.

In addition, he dispatched the No.11 Cavalry Regiment of the No.11 Division to attack along the coastline. The ultimate goal was Dandong. The North Korean garrison can stretch across the city.

After the battle plan was completed, there was no news of a declaration of war in the country, which made Bai Chuanyi very puzzled. The bureaucrats in the country are simply made of tofu. How come they have no courage to face the Chinese people!

He was not willing to wait like this, all the troops had entered the front-line combat readiness, and Bai Chuan was still searching for trains and carriages.While he was actively preparing, Japan finally issued an order to attack, requiring the Kwantung Army to launch an offensive according to the plan.

Although war was not declared, Bai Chuan was already very excited with the order to fight. He took the hand of the head of the Sixth Division, Xiaochi Yasushi, and said proudly: "Mr. People. Occupying Manchuria is just a matter of flipping hands."

Xiaochi also laughed arrogantly: "As pointed out by the soldiers of the Kwantung Army of the Great Japan, the Chinese people are no match at all. Within five days, the warriors of the empire will become the new masters of Fengtian."

After the Sixth Division left Dalian.All the way smoothly, finally came to Gaizhou.Here they finally met their formidable enemy.The First Division of the Frontier Defense Army was ordered to garrison Gaizhou, and the two ace troops faced each other.

The battle first started in the artillery room. The Japanese Sixth Division, which took the lead in attacking, concentrated 48 75 field guns, 4 Meiji 38-type 120 heavy guns and 6 38-type 150 heavy guns just shipped from China. With massive firepower, they bombarded the Fengjun positions on the north bank of the Daqing River indiscriminately.Of course, the Fengjun did not show weakness. As the trump card of the Fengjun, the First Division had the configuration of a heavy artillery battalion with twelve 152mm heavy artillery.A fierce counterattack was launched against the Japanese.

Although the Fengjun did not have the advantage in the number of artillery pieces, they greatly outperformed the Japanese in terms of performance. During the bombardment, the Japanese artillery positions burst into flames from time to time, and the artillery pieces were blown to pieces by the Fengjun army. Instantly evaporates.

However, in this artillery battle, the Japanese still had their trump card. Two old-fashioned armored cruisers and several destroyers also used naval guns to unleash shells.The 254mm artillery shells on the two capital ships had an astonishing momentum, and every time they fell, a huge crater would appear. In just a few minutes, the positions on the offshore side of the Daqing River were blown to pieces.

For the soldiers of the First Division, dealing with naval guns was still a problem. They could only hope that the air force, or underwater submarines, would be able to send these damn warships to the bottom of the sea.But before they are finished, the soldiers can only passively weaken the damage of the naval guns.

Zhang Henian personally arranged the line of defense, the first officer reduced the number of fixed positions on the offshore side, and used multiple layers and depths to spread the enemy's firepower density as much as possible. Falling into a trench, the shock wave will be blocked by the trench, and there will be no tragedy of killing hundreds of people with a shell.

On a real battlefield, all trenches are curved, not straight lines in some sloppy film and television drama.Once the position is built in a straight line, and a shell falls, it is unknown how many people will die. Only the zigzag shape can weaken the lethality of the shell.

In addition, although Fengjun's bombers were transferred to the front line of the Yalu River, there were still many reconnaissance planes in Gaizhou, which were constantly patrolling, so the Japanese navy could not raise observation balloons, and most of the shells hit the empty space where no one was listening. Noisy, not lethal.

The bombardment lasted for more than an hour before the Japanese navy began to turn the muzzle and aim at Gaizhou City. When facing the city, the naval guns fully exerted their power. Whether it was 254mm, 120mm, or even 76mm, as long as it fell, it would inevitably cause Nearby buildings collapsed, especially the main cannon. When a shell went down, several or a dozen houses were often razed to the ground.

Many people who did not have time to retreat were all affected. The shells shattered their homes, and the huge tongue of flame swallowed everything.Fortunately, Fengjun made preparations in advance and moved out all the main institutions, schools, factories, and enterprises. The bombardment only killed and injured some civilians, but did not cause greater losses.

The small city of Gaizhou couldn't bear much bombardment at all, and soon the whole city was shrouded in black smoke, and the flames were billowing, swallowing everything.However, naval guns are not army guns. Not to mention the limited number of shells, the gun barrels will be worn out every time they are fired. The Japanese navy, which was originally stretched for military expenses, destroyed most of the targets that could be seen in Gaizhou City, leaving behind a few destroyers. The cover took the initiative to withdraw the main force.

In fact, there is also a factor of fear of Fengjun submarines, because the sky has darkened, and in the turbid sea, it is not known whether there are Fengjun submarines hiding, so they left in a hurry after completing the support mission.

Although the Japanese army had an absolute advantage in naval artillery, the Fengjun was more active in the army artillery. As the battle progressed, the Fengjun brought in eight 122mm guns and two 240mm guns.

With the addition of these new forces, Fengjun has gradually gained an advantage in the artillery battle. Zhang Tinglan fully upheld the concept of cannon first when building the army, especially after he was able to produce artillery by himself, Fengjun exploded artillery. No effort was spared.

The artillery is arranged in different ranges and calibers, and the echelon configuration can greatly increase the killing effect. Compared with the Japanese method of arranging all the cannons in a line, the Fengjun is undoubtedly much smarter.

In the bunker, Koike Anzhi paid attention to the situation on the front line. He also saw that the artillery was fighting very hard, but he didn't care. The Japanese artillery needed to be strengthened a long time ago, but since all the funds were invested in the navy, the army just I can only live with the nine equipment of the Russo-Japanese War.

But this time is an opportunity. He wants the Japanese government to understand that the war still depends on the army. Koike said to the people around him: "Give the 47th regiment an order to attack the Chinese positions from the left!" ( To be continued..)
