Fengxian Jiangshan

The area at the junction of Ji and Feng is an endless plain terrain, which is conducive to offense but not conducive to defense, and the Feng army does not have the advantage.Zhang Tinglan also felt great pressure. According to estimates, it will take at least three to four days for his father Zhang Zuoxiang to lead a large army to catch up. attack launched.

And unfortunately, most of Zhang Tinglan's soldiers are recruits. They have not been baptized by the flames of war, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of veterans.Fortunately, after Zhang Tinglan's suggestion, when training the new army, a certain number of veterans should be mixed in, and the method of veterans leading recruits should be adopted to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan still has confidence in her subordinates. Zhang Tinglan is not too worried about letting them deal with Gao Shibing's subordinates, but the biggest trouble at present is the Japanese. Zhang Tinglan still doesn't know what the Japanese support Gao Shibing. How many troops did they send and how many weapons did they provide? Once the two sides fought, would the Japanese use the Japanese soldiers along the South Manchuria Railway...

These are all unknowns, but it was precisely these things that made Zhang Tinglan lose his absolute grasp of the battlefield situation, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He invited Zhang Haipeng to his headquarters and wanted to ask for Zhang Haipeng's opinion.

Zhang Haipeng stared at the map in front of him. He also felt a bit of trouble. Ji Jinchun's disastrous defeat still left a shadow in his heart. He kept thinking in his mind, and then said: "Whether the Ji army is attacking or supplying I think it is inseparable from the South Manchuria Railway, and the proximity to the railway also facilitates the support of the Japanese, so the Kyrgyz army must attack along the railway."

Zhang Tinglan also nodded.They basically agree with this judgment. They are now located in the north of Siping. In fact, according to the administrative division, the south of Changchun belongs to Fengtian, but there is a huge protrusion here, which is not conducive to defense. Zhang Tinglan Temporarily abandoned Gongzhuling and other places, and directly deployed defenses in Siping.

"Fighting on the plains, our troops are in a weak position. We must increase our firepower, send a report to Fengtian, and ask the general to strengthen logistics supplies. We must provide sufficient bullets."

Zhang Haipeng nodded in agreement, and hurriedly sent a report to Fengtian.And Zhang Tinglan personally went to the front line to inspect every trench.Every firepower point dare not be ignored.

Fengjun's fortifications are already in shape.The trenches were deep enough to provide good cover, and according to Zhang Tinglan's instructions, more attention was paid to the defense in depth, and the defensive positions were thickened, focusing on the firepower configuration.Also focus on the second position.

This is also the lesson that Zhang Tinglan learned from Ji Jinchun. Once the Japanese intervene, with their individual quality, there will be absolutely no problem in conquering the first position.If the Feng army does not have follow-up fire support, the entire front will collapse.

Although the blending of the Japanese made Zhang Tinglan worried, the high morale of the soldiers made Zhang Tinglan very pleased. He casually said to a machine gunner beside him, "Are you afraid of death? To be honest, don't worry."

The soldier's face was a little red, and it was obviously difficult to speak. Zhang Tinglan suddenly smiled and said, "I think most people are afraid of death. No one has trouble with their own heads, but when we go to the battlefield, we have to figure out one thing. The thing is, if you want to keep your own life, you must eliminate the other party as much as possible, and only when the enemy is dead can you be safe."

Soldiers can't fight bravely because they are afraid of death, but Zhang Tinglan subverts this view. It is precisely because they are afraid of death that they fight desperately!

"Brothers, some soldiers throw away their weapons because they are afraid of death, and then run away, thinking that this will save their lives, but have you ever thought that a soldier without a weapon becomes a lamb waiting to be slaughtered? , meat on the chopping board, life and death are decided by the other party, are you willing to do this?"

"I don't want to! I don't want to!" All the soldiers around waved their fists and shouted loudly. The voice resounded through the sky. Zhang Tinglan looked at these soldiers and nodded with satisfaction.

"I want everyone to remember that there is no way to refuse death, but we can choose to die vigorously, for the sake of our homeland, for the sake of dignity, and death is heavier than Mount Tai. Wounds are inevitable on soldiers, but I hope that the wounds will stay on the chest, not leave On the back!"

Zhang Tinglan's words caused a burst of laughter, but it was not a joke. Some veterans in Fengjun had all their wounds on their backs. During the war, when they saw that the situation was not good, they ran away with their heads in their hands.

The regularization construction carried out by Fengjun is to remove all these unqualified soldiers and make the team pure and high-spirited.

Zhang Tinglan's inspection was very careful, and he even wielded an engineering shovel to dig trenches with the soldiers, and asked his men to repeatedly measure the distance between the trenches, and especially emphasized the layout of the anti-blasting holes.

The so-called anti-gun holes, also called cat-ear holes, are small anti-gun fortifications built in the middle of the trenches. The height is only about 1.5 meters, the width is two to three meters, and the depth varies from a few meters to more than ten meters. It is very simple to build to hide three or five people, as long as a few pieces of wood can be used for reinforcement.

Of course, the anti-bunker hole can't really defend against the direct bombardment of the shells, but it can block the damage of the shells and store ammunition inside, which can greatly improve the survivability of soldiers.

In fact, judging from the various preparations, Zhang Tinglan has already shown that he attaches great importance to this battle, or the pressure in his heart. His opponent is not the mob of the Kyrgyz army, but the Japanese!Those elite Japanese soldiers who had passed the test of the Russo-Japanese War, apart from the ambush to rob the train, this was the first time that Feng Jun had a head-on confrontation with the Japanese, and Zhang Tinglan had to be more careful.

Just when Zhang Tinglan was tirelessly strengthening the fortifications, the Ji army led by Gao Shibin finally came to kill them. The two armies drew up a battle line north of Siping.

"Mr. Adviser, I have already investigated. The opponent has not many troops, and they are not the elite of the Feng army. We can completely eliminate them as soon as we pass by."

"Stupid!" Yuzhi unceremoniously gave Gao Shibin such a two-word evaluation. He said to Gao Shibin like a schoolboy: "Didn't you see the opponent's position? They are very well-built and defensive. Strict, no dead ends, it can be seen that the opponent is definitely not a simple opponent."

Hearing Yuzhi's comment, Gao Shibin was a little at a loss. Although he is usually arrogant, he was weak by three points when he met the Japanese, especially when the Japanese helped him defeat Ji Jinchun and regain Jilin , so that Gao Shibin surrendered to the ground and obeyed his words.

Now when Yu Zhi said that the other party's defense was very tight, he became a little scared, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Consultant, what do you think we should do?"

"Fight! Attack me according to your ideas, attack non-stop, don't be afraid of sacrifice, the road to victory has always been paved with blood, and the empire will provide strong support!"

After receiving the order from the Supreme Emperor, Gao Shibin hastily ordered the deployment of troops to prepare for the attack.The artillery unit under Gao Shibin's subordinates was the first to fire the first shot. The deafening sound of mountain cannons continued, and the shells hit the Fengjun's position precisely.

The huge explosion kicked up the soil, the fortifications on the ground were constantly destroyed, and the Fengjun also suffered casualties. Zhang Haipeng said to Zhang Tinglan: "Zhuoyan, we can't be so passively beaten. Quickly call up the artillery and confront Gao Shibing. , I don't believe that our artillery can't beat the Kyrgyz army?"

Zhang Tinglan shook his head with a wry smile: "Our opponent is no longer the Kyrgyz army. The opponent's artillery fire is extremely ferocious. To be able to form such a striking effect, the number is at least [-] or more, and the shooting accuracy is simply incredible compared to before. The same is true. Is this what Gao Shibing can do? Obviously, the Japanese have not stopped supporting the artillery of the Kyrgyz army, and even dispatched artillery. Is there any chance of winning if we confront the Japanese artillery?"

Zhang Tinglan's rhetorical question immediately made Zhang Haipeng dumbfounded. In fact, the Japanese also absorbed the lessons of Liaonan this time. They provided a lot of weapons to the Zongsha Party and the Revolutionary Party, but things backfired. These people did not know how to use new weapons at all. It is in vain to make Fengjun cheaper, and let Fengjun change his shotguns.

The Japanese learned from the painful experience. They believed that the squadrons were muddy and could not support the wall, and they were only good as cannon fodder. To make the new weapons work, they had to send a large number of Japanese soldiers and let them manipulate them to play their due role. Therefore, this time the Japanese not only sent advisors to Gao Shibin, but also assigned some artillery, and they conducted command and manipulation.

Holding a telescope, Yu Zhixiong has been observing the situation of the opponent's position, looking at the fortifications that have been overturned one by one, the corner of his mouth unconsciously reveals a trace of complacency, the artillery of the Great Japan is invincible in the world, and the mere Fengjun, where is it? their opponents.

"Gao Sang, you can attack now, the soldiers on the other side are already vulnerable!"

Yu Zhixiong gave the combat order full of confidence, and Gao Shibin's subordinates were already gearing up. I saw a large group of Ji troops rushing towards the Feng army's position crazily. They shouted, ran, and gradually moved away from each other. Feng Jun's position is getting closer and closer.

At this time, Feng Jun's machine guns were ready, and they waited until they entered a distance of about 400 meters before they suddenly opened fire. Sweeping head-on, there were broken corpses all over the ground.

Under such a surprise attack, all the soldiers of the Ji army were terrified. Didn’t they destroy all the fortifications of the Feng army? Didn’t they die under the shells?

Of course Fengjun was not made of iron, but cat ear holes played an important role in protecting Fengjun's vitality. Zhang Haipeng, who had been observing the battle, secretly gave Zhang Tinglan a thumbs up. This young man really has a lot of skills! (To be continued..)
