Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 166 The Battle of Dafeng Mountain
The old Yaonong was over sixty years old, maybe he was old, maybe he hadn't climbed such a steep mountain for a long time, and his physical strength couldn't keep up.

A burly soldier of the new army lowered his body and said softly: "Old man, don't push back any more. If you are really exhausted, my lord will definitely blame us."

Before, he was a little dissatisfied with his old age, and he didn't want to trouble these young soldiers, so the old Yao Nong insisted on leaving by himself.

Now, the body was really unable to resist, and after hearing what the soldier said, he carefully laid down on the soldier's back.

Another soldier behind immediately supported the old Yao Nong's back, and followed step by step to prevent the two from falling.

A group of people continued to shuttle through the forest overgrown with weeds and trees silently.

Even if there were sounds of walking and panting, they were drowned out by shouts from downhill and occasional explosions from above.

After nearly an hour of hard work, the group arrived less than ten feet away from the top of the mountain without any danger, and they could hear the shouts of Zheng Jun soldiers above.

At this moment, most of the clouds and mists in the mountains have dissipated, and the sun is shining through, warm.

The soldier at the front put down the old Yao Nong carefully, and then the two of them leaned against the mountain wall, letting the other soldiers pass by first.

The battalion commander left two soldiers to protect the old Yao Nong, while he took the rest of the people and continued to touch the mountain.

It's almost there, so naturally there is no need for someone to lead the way.

When it was four or five feet away from the peak, the battalion commander raised his hand and pressed it down, motioning everyone to stop, and then nodded to the platoon leader next to him.

The platoon leader nodded in response, and silently took out a grenade. Nearly twenty soldiers in the entire platoon each took out a grenade and unscrewed the cover, while the others prepared their guns.

Seeing that everyone was ready, the platoon leader waved his hand, and the entire platoon continued to move up the mountain.

After climbing up to Ruomo two feet away, the movement of the enemy army on the mountain became clearer.

The platoon leader waved his hand, and the soldier with the grenade in his hand immediately turned around, facing the mountain peak, and yanked the matchlock violently, and the grenade in his hand immediately emitted black smoke.

"Swish, swish..." More than [-] grenades scrambled to the top of the mountain.

Some soldiers on the mountain saw these black things flying up at the first sight, and while they were slightly startled, they instinctively dodged for fear of hitting themselves.

Several soldiers who were not looking in this direction were hit with a "boom".

"Who hit me..." one of the soldiers who was hit opened his mouth and cursed.

And more soldiers looked at the things that were emitting black smoke, and time seemed to stop at this moment.

"Boom boom boom..." Intense and intensive explosions resounded through the sky, the whole mountain trembled, the flames shot up into the sky, the smoke filled the air, and there were screams everywhere.

"rush……"

As soon as the explosion stopped, with an order, the soldiers of the new army climbed up as fast as possible, and several soldiers with submachine guns rushed to the front.

The moment they rushed to the top of the mountain, they were faced with a messy enemy position. The corpses and wounded were lying on the ground. Those who were lucky enough to be uninjured also ran around in panic.

"Bang bang bang..." Gunshots continued, and as more soldiers from the new army rushed up, there was basically no suspense in the battle.

Qingtian Peak was captured by the new army, except for a few people who suffered some minor injuries, no one died.

Under the command of the battalion commander, a soldier took out a flag from his arms.

This is a big red flag with a thick and striking white character "New" written on it.

Several soldiers unfolded the flag, took down Zheng Jun's flag and discarded it, then hung up their own flag and waved it.

The eye-catching flag occupies the highest point and can be seen from far away.

It didn't take long for Zheng Jun's peaks to know that Qingtian Peak had fallen.

The highest peak fell so quickly, it was naturally a great blow to Zheng Jun.

Seen from a height, the seven peaks are arranged in a curved line, and Qingtian Peak is located between the other six peaks, which just divides the six peaks into two parts.

The generals of all the peaks looked towards Qingtian Peak with binoculars. Several people in the same direction happened to see the top of Qingtian Peak. One person was also standing on the edge, observing with binoculars. slight change.

General Zheng Jun, who was on the nearest Qiyun Peak, seemed to see the smile on the corner of the mouth of the battalion commander of the new army.

The new battalion commander put down the binoculars and ordered in a deep voice, "Feed them some bullets."

Immediately, two heavy machine guns were set up and poured condescendingly towards Qi Yunfeng.

"Chi Chi Chi..." MG42 spit out flames violently.

Zheng Jun, who was almost exposed to the flames, wailed suddenly. Some people's bodies were even cut in two. Those with limbs were broken, and those with their heads exploded.

For some places hiding behind rocks and where machine guns cannot reach, 81mm mortars were directly set up to bombard them.

"Ah..." Some soldiers couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed down the mountain regardless, not daring to stay on the top of the mountain anymore.

"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw..." the chief general also ordered loudly helplessly.

Immediately, Qiyun Peak collapsed without attacking, and Zheng Jun, who rushed down the mountain, quickly surrendered to the new army.

The new army at the bottom of the mountain immediately set off to occupy Qiyun Peak, and as soon as they reached the halfway up the mountain, Zheng Jun on the top of Damao Peak also collapsed.

This scene was not only personally witnessed by the soldiers of the new army on Qingtian Peak, but Zheng Jun on Xiaomao Peak heard shocking explosions on Damao Peak from time to time.

Due to the altitude, they could not see the specific situation on Tai Mao Peak, but they could see the flames and smoke rising from the top of Tai Mao Peak.

From time to time, people screamed and fell from the mountain, and stones rolled down the mountain. No matter how stupid they were, they knew that the new army actually moved the cannon to the top of the mountain.

"Look, the people on Big Mao Peak are retreating." Immediately, someone discovered the situation, and the soldiers on Xiao Mao Peak panicked for a while.

"Let's withdraw as soon as possible. If the new army occupies Damao Peak, they will definitely bomb us from the top of the mountain. If we don't withdraw now, it will be too late."

Therefore, Zheng Jun on Xiaomao Peak withdrew without a fight, and Xiaomao Peak collapsed without attacking.

The Zheng troops on Big and Small Peaks did not surrender to the new army, but retreated in embarrassment from the other side of the mountain.

Because they knew that without their geographical advantages, they were no match for the new army at all.

Zheng Jun who was stationed on other small peaks retreated quietly after hearing the news.

The other part is to change the strategy, knowing that just occupying a high position will not gain a terrain advantage, and instead drill into various natural caves in Dafeng Mountain, preparing to continue to resist.

Qingtian Peak, Qiyun Peak, Big Mao Peak, and Xiaomao Peak fell into the hands of the new army one after another. Most of the seven peaks have been occupied by the new army, which undoubtedly has a great shock to Zheng Jun in other big peak mountains.

The new army on Qiyun Peak has already begun to attack Zheng Jun on Yuping Peak. Due to the height, the new army on Qiyun Peak cannot see Zheng Jun on Yuping Peak.

But it doesn't matter, the new army on the condescending Qingtian Peak will use simple semaphore messages to correct the effect of their shelling, which makes Zheng Jun on Yuping Peak suffer a lot.

Tang Ning stayed in Dafeng Mountain for three days. After seeing that the new army had basically controlled the battle situation and the remaining Zheng army could no longer pose much threat to his side, he left [-] troops to let Wu Shu control Dafeng Mountain while continuing to encircle and suppress The remaining Zheng Jun.

And he himself led the remaining [-] troops to continue advancing eastward.

Because the day before, Wu Liuqi had conquered Yunxiao Town and was heading towards Nanjing.
