Base System of Bashu Heroes
Chapter 41: Longwang Mountain Shelling
Ma Liangjun inspected the artillery position again, then climbed up to a high place and raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, the Sichuan Army's first artillery regiment has been established and is about to conduct its first artillery attack on the Japanese army. It is not easy for the Sichuan Army to have its own artillery. To be honest, it is really not easy." Easy. All the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army are proud of you. Now, use the momentum of our Sichuan Army artillery and fire!" As he spoke, Ma Liangjun's raised arm fell heavily. In an instant, the Dragon King Mountain was shaken, and the sun and the moon were dim. .
What Ma Liangjun said about "not easy" is not an empty lie. Since modern times, China has been weak and poor, and its national defense industry is backward. Tanks and artillery are all imported. Artillery has always been a bottleneck for the national army. During the Battle of Songhu, the lack of The strong artillery support failed to achieve the initial attack goal. The national government once planned to establish three artillery regiments to be integrated into one army, which meant that 70 artillery pieces would be drawn from various theaters, and 70 artillery pieces would be placed in the eyes of the great powers. It's not worth mentioning, but even the 70 artillery pieces of the national government can't make up for it. On the eve of the war, the total number of usable artillery pieces in the army was 1,457. Although some construction was done during the war, it was only a drop in the bucket. Adding to the attrition, it was actually difficult to assemble three artillery regiments. Within an army, even in the late stages of the war, there has never been an "army" with such powerful firepower. It is more of a beautiful vision than a plan.
On the battlefield, Liu Tianchu didn't understand what Ma Liangjun meant when he said "it's not easy." He had already been shocked by the artillery formation. Ten rocket launchers fired a salvo of 120 rounds, and Ma Liangjun's original four guns roared like an overwhelming roar. Rain fell in all directions, and the Japanese positions were suddenly covered in thick dust, smoke billowing, and flames shot into the sky.
The rocket launcher has been improved many times by Shusheng, and now it can accurately determine the target position and carry out precise strikes. After several gunshots, the important target fortifications of the Japanese army were instantly wiped out. From the blind strike of multiple artillery salvos in the past to today's multi-gun control of the enemy, with Scholar The formulated precise training, precise command, and precise assessment are closely related, making the former "God of War" even more powerful.
After five rounds of artillery bombardment, more than 600 artillery shells fell on the positions of three regiments of the 9th Division. The Japanese army, which was poorly prepared for the Sichuan army's artillery bombardment, suffered heavy losses. Liu Ling's division struck while the iron was hot and rushed down from the heights of Longwang Mountain, driving the Japanese army to Guangde in one fell swoop. , Lishui, and then took over the deployment of the Tiexinqiao position of the 144th Division, and the 144th Division crossed the river with Pan Wenhua.
The 144th Division fought extremely bravely at Tiexin Bridge. Division Commander Guo Xunqi was shot in the left leg. The guards hurriedly wrapped up Guo's injuries and wanted to take him to the hospital. He refused to go and sat on a stretcher to supervise the battle command. He ordered the officers and soldiers: " The country raises troops for a thousand days, and they are used in one day. Your badges are all printed with the slogan "Love the country, love the people". Now is the time for the country to use you for one day, and it is also the time for you to love the country and the people. Soldiers die on the battlefield. Fortunately. I hope that all the officers and soldiers of our department will fulfill their duties as soldiers, not be afraid of difficulties, kill the enemy to the end, support each other, and stick to their positions. Anyone who loses his position without authorization will be shot to death, regardless of rank."
Guo Xunqi was injured and could not leave the firing line and insisted on supervising the battle on the position, which greatly encouraged the officers and soldiers, until they later repelled the Japanese army and Liu Ling took over the defense.
Ma Liangjun and Chen Jiaqi arrived at Xiaguan Pier after the bombardment of Longwangshan. The 23rd Army was crossing the river at Xiaguan Pier. Two divisions, Chen Jiaqi and Ma Liangjun, arrived. Nearly 50,000 troops had gathered at Xiaguan Pier, and Xiao Zai tried his best to collect them. There are more than a hundred fishing boats. Thanks to Feng Huaizhu, who graduated from Huangpu and came from the teaching corps, he borrowed a small steamer from his classmates in the friendly army, but it was a drop in the bucket. He could only transport 300 people at a time, and he couldn't deliver them even after more than ten trips. Half a division.
Chen Jiaqi and Ma Liangjun reported the situation at Xiaguan Wharf. Liu Tianchu had an idea and suddenly remembered the abandoned oil barrels in the arsenal. He ordered Chen Jiaqi to send an engineering corps to transport all the gasoline barrels to the riverside and tie them up with planks, and urgently built a tower from the Jiangxin Island.
The military pontoon bridge allowed the troops to pass smoothly....
The Sichuan Army crossed the river in large numbers to ensure the full westward advance by opening up the river defenses of Nanjing's Wulong Mountain and Shogun Mountain, eliminating flank threats, and inspiring the long-slumped fighting will. The Japanese Army Headquarters urgently deployed three brigades of the 16th Division, and 4 regiments of the 3rd Division of the Advance Army.
1 brigade and 4 brigades of the 114th Division. The 9th Division sent 4 brigades to form the Liangjiao Detachment. It was independently mixed into the 17th Brigade and 2 brigades, with a total of about 30,000 troops, plus the Puppet Manchukuo Army and other troops.
A huge corps of more than 40,000 people, under the cover of 50 aircraft and more than ten ships of the Japanese Third Fleet on the river, used the absolute advantage of a fierce lion to beat a rabbit, against Liu Ling's division hanging alone on Wulong Mountain, Mufu Mountain, and Tiexin Bridge.
and Jiang Huian's division launched a large-scale "Jiangnan War of Annihilation".
Most of the Sichuan army had crossed the river. There was already an extremely disparity in strength between the two sides. In addition, the Japanese army sent spies into Nanjing to find out the Sichuan army's deployment in advance. For a time, the Wulongshan position was in danger.
When Liu Tianchu came to the Wulong Mountain position, densely packed Japanese troops were gathering around Nanjing at the foot of Wulong Mountain. A dozen cruisers and destroyers on the river were out of sight, shelling Xianguan, Mufu Mountain, and ships transporting troops on the river from time to time.
After being shot, the soldiers fell into the water one after another, and the makeshift pontoon bridge was also shattered under the bombardment of Japanese aircraft. The Japanese aircraft circled back and forth and shot at the soldiers crossing the river. The river was full of corpses and broken limbs. The blood of the Sichuan army was almost
dye the river red.
Liu Tianchu, who was on the Wulong Mountain position, looked at the river with tears in his eyes, but what was the use? The Japanese army took advantage of the air and ground artillery fire to drop bombs and strafing the Sichuan troops crossing the river from different directions, and the ships bombed the river surface unscrupulously, along the coast.
The troops could only use general-purpose machine guns to fight back against the aircraft in the sky. The entire group army only had two anti-aircraft machine guns that Tang Shengzhi did not have time to take away when he retreated. The rocket launchers had a too close range and could not do anything against surface ships with a range of more than 10 kilometers.
"You stupid little Japanese planes and ships, wait until I take Shandong, let's see how arrogant you are." Liu Tianchu yelled angrily.
Jiang Hui'an, who was frowning, reminded him: "Commander, if you don't think about it in advance, you should consider Liu Ling. Japanese troops have gathered around Nanjing in large numbers. Liu Ling will be surrounded if he doesn't withdraw."
"Liu Ling has withdrawn and we are surrounded." Liu Tianchu waved his hands in frustration.
This was indeed a dilemma. Liu Ling retreated, and the Wulongshan defenders had no choice but to fight. Liu Tianchu urgently called Ma Liangjun: "Brother Liangjun! Brother Liangjun! How long will it take for the troops to cross the river?"
At this time, Ma Liangjun was also anxious. The only thing that comforted him was that the army structure was not in chaos: "The 23rd Army has completed crossing the river. There are still two divisions of Chen Jiaqi and mine. It is estimated that the crossing will not be completed until dark."
Night was favorable for the retreat of the Wulongshan position. Liu Tianchu immediately informed Liu Ling in a comforting and joking tone: "Master Liu, thank you for your hard work. After dark, the troops will withdraw to Dangtu. After crossing the river from Dangtu, they will withdraw north along the Huainan Railway.
, I will meet you in Bengbu."
Liu Ling's bitter smile came from the intercom: "My nephew, you are still biased! The 133rd Division and the 134th Division are your old troops. From Chenjiaxing to Nanjing, we are the ones who are in danger?"
Liu Tianchu was silent for a long time in the intercom. He understood Liu Ling's complaint. The predecessors of the 133rd and 134th Divisions were the 793rd and 794th Regiments. According to the prevailing factions of the national army, Jiang Hui'an and Liu Ling were divided into divisions.
He is his direct descendant, but his direct descendant is always in the most dangerous position.
Liu Tianchu also smiled bitterly and shook his head. "You want me to learn from Chiang Kai-shek? Preserve my strength? The reason why you are different from others is that you are trustworthy. If you cover the troops across the river and hand them over to Tang Shizun, we will all die. You understand."
Of course Liu Ling understood, but he also understood that the 133rd Division had suffered heavy casualties, and the situation in Wulong Mountain would be even more difficult after he retreated. "When will Wulong Mountain be withdrawn? Otherwise...otherwise I will join you together?"
"Don't." Liu Tianchu stopped furiously. "Sir, after dark, lead the troops to retreat to Dangtu, and Xiao Zai will take the boat to the river to meet. This is an order! It must be carried out!"
Liu Tianchu said the word "order" for the first time. Liu Ling was cowardly and emotional. Wulong Mountain was in danger. There was no need to give orders to suppress him. He would definitely move closer to Wulong Mountain. Liu Lingru led some Japanese troops to Dangtu, and the pressure from Wulong Mountain would increase.
Reducing the problem a lot is the best support for Wulong Mountain.
Liu Ling from Tiexinqiao hesitantly agreed, and Liu Tianchu finally let out a sigh of relief. At this time, Xi Zai led a few soldiers to bring cow and horse dung and arsenic.
He kept asking: "Batalion Commander? What on earth are you going to do?"
I am crying for recommendation and collection. Unknowingly, this book has been uploaded for a month. There is only one day off in January. Ye Meng has a serious cervical spondylosis. To be honest, it is really not easy to persevere, especially when I have no ideas.
Book friends who have written novels will feel the same way. Every time the family is asleep, they are still staring at the computer, deleting, modifying, modifying and deleting. You can see that the recommendations and collections are increasing every day. Yemeng is very happy and worth it. Thank you
Book friends...
