Sword life

Chapter 61
No.18 Division 56 Regiment, Regiment Captain Matasaburo Sato looked at the retreating regiment, his eyes turned red with anger.

This is a complete brigade, less than 300 people retreated, and [-]% of them stayed on the battlefield forever.

"Where's the captain?"

"It was killed! The firepower of the Ninth Brigade is too strong, and the Type [-] tanks can't stop it. There are also huge bombs, which are bigger than naval guns. We can't fight them."

Sato was furious, stretched out his hand anyway, and slapped the squadron leader a few times: "Are you still a soldier of the empire? Take heart, no matter how difficult it is, can it be more difficult than what Senior Nogi encountered?"

The squadron leader was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and his body shook: "Hi!"

Sato pulled the squadron leader away, looked at the battered Wulongshan Fortress, and fell into deep thought.

The fortress of Wulong Mountain is so strong that the 56th Independent Brigade is brave and good at fighting. With the strength of the [-]th Regiment, it cannot be conquered.

"Swoosh, it seems that I can only use that trick."

There was joy in the Wulongshan Fortress. The Independent Ninth Brigade killed more than 600 little devils, destroyed eleven Type 200 tanks, and lost less than [-] people. The first battle was successful.

Zhang Gang smiled. After this wave, he earned more than 4 points, enough to buy guns for the second regiment.

During the battle, although Wei Dayong did not show the overall planning of the regiment leader, the three battalions under his command cooperated with each other and fought on par with the little devils, which proved that the second regiment had already possessed a strong combat effectiveness and could stand on its own.

At this moment, the phone rang, and as soon as he picked it up, Xu Yuanquan's anxious voice came over: "General Zhang, the little devil's offensive is too fierce, can you come to Yangfang Mountain and help me suppress the place."

There are too many battle lines in front of Yangfang Mountain, and it is easy to be outflanked by little devils, so you can't go to that place,

Zhang Gang said with a smile: "General Xu, I also have more than 100 planes here to greet, and the little devils are attacking our position. I am afraid that if I go, I will take more than 100 planes of the little devils. It will be troublesome." gone."

"General Zhang, can you lend me the commando team for a day, just for one day, the Yinkongshan regiment can give it to you first." Xu Yuanquan's voice was anxious. He lost a regiment in one morning, and it was still difficult to stop the little devil's attack. It looks like, I have to fill in a group in the afternoon, and the old foundation is almost filled!

"I can transfer the Second Regiment there, but I have agreed that I can only be stationed at Yinkong Mountain, and I will not go to Yangfang Mountain." Zhang Gang counter-offered.

"Okay, come right away, no matter how late it is, I'm afraid that if the front line can't be defended, then there will be big troubles."

After negotiating the conditions, Zhang Gang asked Wei Dayong to directly lead people to take over Yinkong Mountain, and dig fortifications according to the method of the Wulong Mountain Fortress.

After sending Wei Dayong away, Zhang Gang found the remaining two company commanders of the German Weaponry Company, merged with the rest of the Guangdong Army and the Lu Army respectively, and temporarily expanded into two battalions;

With the remaining members of the Old Ninth Brigade sent over by Yu Xuezhong as the backbone, a battalion was supplemented.

In the end, one company of the Yunnan Army was left, which was combined with the remaining [-] recruits to form a supplementary battalion.

Four battalions and sixteen companies, with a population of more than 700, were formed into three regiments.

Although there are many people, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it is far worse than the second regiment. Only one-third of the whole regiment has guns, and even zero artillery, which cannot withstand the enemy's attack at all.

In this regard, Zhang Gang just said: "Don't ask me, you can figure out your own way, the airs of the three regiments have not yet been settled, whoever of you behaves well, I will let him be, understand!"

Several new battalion commanders looked at each other, and they all knew the brigade commander's temper, so they sent their men to the battlefield and began to collect guns and ammunition.

Zhang Gang looked at these soldiers with satisfaction and felt the happiness of the brigade commander.It is said that the brigade commander is hard, that is my shallowness, the happiness of the brigade commander is not felt by ordinary people.

At this moment, a messenger walked into the headquarters: "Report to the general, the Japanese fleet was found on the river."

"Huh?" Zhang Gang didn't dare to be careless, and immediately turned to the lookout, took out the binoculars, searched the river carefully, and soon found the target.

On the river, four ships, two large, two small, and four ships were carefully passing through the waterway.

"Find out the model of the enemy ship, and use the turret to stop the shooting! Gather the naval gunboats and be ready to attack at any time to eliminate the invading enemy!" Zhang Gang put down the binoculars and began to arrange tensely.

"General Zhang, there are no guns on the gunboat, so we can't intercept it even if we rush over."

Zhang Gang raised his eyebrows upside down: "Who did it?"

"Isn't it an order from you, General? Dismantle the naval guns and make room for passengers."

Zhang Gang took a deep breath and looked towards the river.

There are [-] bright and dark forts in Wulongjiang, and [-] forts were urgently dug out. There are enough forts, but most of the cannons were taken away by Zhang Gang and the soldiers were replaced.

The few remaining 75 cannons bombarded the Japanese ship several times, but they failed to hit the Japanese ship, and fell to the river a few hundred meters away.

On the river, the Japanese coastal defense ship Anzhai, led by the Shita and other three gunboats, was carefully sailing through the Wulong River section.

The Anzhai has a displacement of 120 tons and is equipped with a 13-caliber heavy gun, three double-mounted 7.7mm anti-aircraft guns, and four [-]mm machine guns.

The Shido gunboat behind her has a displacement of 76 tons, two 5mm guns, and five 7.7mm machine guns.

At this time, the four gunboats were firing at full strength, and six 6mm artillery pieces, plus one 76mm artillery piece, set Wulongshan Fortress on fire everywhere.

"Yo Xi, the Chinese fortress is nothing more than that." Captain Nobuta Miyeda of the Antaka smiled and looked to the west.Break through the defense line of China's Yangtze River from here, and you can go straight to Xiaguan, threatening the rear of the Chinese army.

If it can trigger the collapse of the Chinese army, it will further highlight the incompetence of the enemy, and when they return to the headquarters, they will be promoted, from gunboats to ships.

"Speed ​​up, break into Jiangning, and give the Chinese army a fatal blow!"

Seeing this, several Japanese ships drove faster, and they were about to break through the fortress and rush into the Yangtze River.

Major Old Yang was so anxious that he slapped his thigh: "My General Zhang, I said last time that the cannon cannot be dismantled. What should we do now? The little devil's ship rushed into the Yangtze River, and our way of retreat will be cut off."
