Chapter 1358, Fire Captain

"Eight kilometers..."

The range of Italian artillery is only 8,000 meters.

For safety reasons, it is best to shorten the distance to less than 7,500 meters.

In addition to the necessary warning distance, the distance from the Japanese heavy artillery should preferably be within 7,000 meters.

The terrain must be open.

You can hit and run.

Otherwise, other Japanese artillery units will retaliate.

Can it be done?

hanging.

Need to proofread the map again and again.

It is necessary to repeatedly check the radar map and the aerial map.

The two maps are not seamlessly connected.

Requires human brain calculations.

Finally, find a suitable offensive line. It is necessary to advance about three thousand meters.

There is difficulty.

Although it is three thousand meters.

Don’t underestimate three thousand meters.

That was on the battlefield. Every inch of land must be fought for.

The distance of three thousand meters was enough to deploy an infantry brigade of the Japanese invaders.

You have to go into battle in person.

It wouldn't work for anyone else.

Mortars and heartless artillery must clear the way.

Exploded all the way.

Assault all the way.

Until three thousand meters deep.

The biggest difficulty lies in the reaction of the Japanese invaders.

I hope the Japanese invaders didn't realize that they were going for their howitzers.

otherwise…

"boom…"

The Japanese invaders suddenly started shelling again.

Hey, these psychos. Intermittent and annoying.

but…

I can bear it!

I'll take care of you right away.

"Somebody come!"

"arrive!"

"Inform Mr. Cheng to come!"

"yes!"

The staff officer quickly called Cheng Zhigao.

Zhang Yong told the other party his thoughts. Cheng Zhigao was excited but also a little confused.

How did Zhang Yong know the location of the Japanese heavy artillery?

When did he go out to scout?

Haven't you been sleeping these days?

Could it be a dream?

"Commissioner, is the location confirmed?"

"Sure. It's right here."

Zhang Yong answered affirmatively.

A striking red circle is drawn on the military map on the wall.

This location is the Japanese invaders' 150mm howitzer position. In the short term, it is impossible for the Japanese invaders to change their positions.

Then, two more eye-catching red circles were drawn.

"Commissioner..."

"This is a 105mm heavy cannon position. This is a 75mm mountain artillery position."

"Commissioner, have you detected everything?"

"right."

Zhang Yong admitted frankly.

Yes, that's what I "detected".

As for how it was "detected", there is no need to explain.

"There are tanks here too."

Zhang Yong then drew another red circle.

The tanks are all Type 95 light tanks. Weighs seven tons.

This kind of tank poses little threat to Jiangyin Fortress. Only infantry can be threatened.

The Japanese invaders deployed it in a relatively rear position in order to counterattack the infantry charge. The national army was caught off guard.

Didn't pay much attention to it.

They are all little ones.

The 12.7mm large-caliber machine gun can penetrate side armor.

If it is a 20mm machine gun, it will penetrate the front.

"well!"

Cheng Zhigao is gearing up. Eager to try.

Now that we know the location of the Japanese invaders' heavy weapons, we can take targeted actions.

Although, the 103rd Division of the Guizhou Army currently has not many troops left. However, it is still very possible to make a sudden move and advance three thousand meters.

The key is…

Zhang Yong leads the team!

Commissioner, you are a brave group!

As long as the Commissioner leads the team, they will be victorious.

The morale of all the officers and soldiers participating in the battle was extremely high, and they were all screaming.

Not to mention well-equipped. Even a fire stick seems to be able to beat the Japanese invaders until they can no longer take care of themselves...

"Report!"

A staff officer hurried over.

Zhang Yong looked up casually.

"What's up?"

"Your Excellency, Commander Qian is here."

"Which Commander Qian?"

"That's Commander Qian Wanjun."

"ah?"

Zhang Yong was stunned.

Qian Wanjun? Commander Qian?

Why is he here?

What is he here for?

"Commander Qian?"

Cheng Zhigao was also surprised.

Of course he knew who Commander Qian was.

One of the powerful bosses. A consistent confidant of the committee.

He once served as the director of the attendant room for a long time. He is still an important boss in the military.

He couldn't help but look at Zhang Yong.

Somewhat worried.

Are you here to arrest Zhang Yong?

By the way, if Commander Qian comes to arrest the Commissioner...

Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhigao immediately turned against him.

As long as the Commissioner gave the order, he would kill everyone and throw them directly into the river...

"With whom?"

"A lot. And two foreigners."

"Foreigner?"

"Yes. There will also be a military police escort."

"military police?"

Zhang Yong raised his eyebrows.

Are you here to catch yourself? Falling out?

OK!

Fall out if you fall out!

Calm and calm. Check the radar map first.

I didn't pay much attention to it before. Just don’t look at it. At first glance, I feel like the person coming here is not a good person!

Gu Bafeng is here...

Kong Fansong is here...

Rokossovsky…

Rommel…

etc!

It's not surprising that others come.

Why is Kong Fansong here too?

Are you here to take over your own money? Make yourself spit out all your money?

Oops, I can't bear this anymore.

You can take my life, but not my money.

wrong…

Not even for your life.

My life, Zhang Yong, is very valuable.

No matter who comes, as long as they want my life, Zhang Yong, they will be killed.

"Invite them in."

"yes."

Zhang Yong did not go out to greet him.

Be careful to make a thousand-year ship. Safety comes first at all times.

In the open space outside, there is an advantage in numbers. He can't beat that many people.

However, if it is inside the headquarters, in a narrow space, Zhang Yong is the boss. There are many weapons in his carry-on space.

No matter who wants to attack Zhang Yong, he will be beaten into a hornet's nest.

Even Commander Qian.

Surveillance radar map.

No abnormalities were found.

The gendarmes stopped at the dock. Didn't follow.

Gu Bafeng himself also stayed near the dock.

possible…

perhaps…

Are you overthinking it?

Commander Qian didn't come to arrest him?

but…

Better be careful.

The situation outside is chaotic now.

Walk to the entrance of the command post. Waiting for Commander Qian to appear in front of him.

"Commander Qian."

stand at attention.

salute.

Well behaved.

This is called courtesy first and then attack. Let’s take a look at the situation first.

"Shao Long."

Commander Qian came over quickly.

Nothing unusual. He just looked solemn.

"Shao Long."

Kong Fansong also followed.

Zhang Yong nodded. Reach out. Shake hands with the other person.

The other party is the real God of Wealth! Or an NPC who often releases tasks.

Every time I do something for Director Kong, I get US dollars in the end.

I really miss the days when I used to make money...

"Brother Kong Fang, what are you here for?" Zhang Yong asked quietly.

"The envoy asked us to invite you to Jinling." Kong Fansong said slowly, "Purple Mountain was lost and the situation is very bad."

"What's the point of me going?"

"I don't know. But it must be useful."

"Where is Chief Tang?"

"he…"

Kong Fansong hesitated to speak.

Commander Qian suddenly turned back.

"He panicked."

"What?"

"That Chief Tang is already panicking. He has no master. He doesn't know how to deal with it."

"this…"

Zhang Yong did not express his opinion.

Panic?

Maybe.

Purple Mountain was lost. For the defenders, it was a fatal blow.

Basically there is no possibility of recovery.

"Shaolong, the committee hopes that you can save the dangerous situation in Jinling..."

"I?"

"That's right. It's you."

"But, I don't know how to command a war!"

"As long as we can regain Dachang Town."

"Well…"

Zhang Yong shut up.

It turns out that he was remembered.

Chiang Kai-shek was also ill and sought medical treatment in a hurry. Suddenly I felt like I could do it again.

No, when the Songhu battlefield was most dangerous, it was Zhang Yong who came to the rescue. It seems that they were all successfully rescued in the end.

I feel like I am the fire captain.

"Shaolong, you can give the order directly now, and I will help you implement it."

"Me? Ordered?"

"Yes. Now everyone is willing to listen to you."

"Why?"

"Maybe I think there is still a glimmer of hope if you take command. If it were anyone else, it would be a dead end."

"I…"

Zhang Yong wanted to say, if I take command, it will lead to a dead end.

It is inevitable that Jinling will be captured. It’s no use even if the gods come. The Japanese invaders are so powerful that they cannot resist them.

However, it is not impossible to delay it for a few days.

The key is, there can be no chaos.

The key to not causing chaos lies in Pukou.

Where is Pukou? In Jiangbei. In the upper reaches of Jinling.

Once the Japanese invaders occupy Pukou, they will move south along the river bank and then surround Jinling.

At that time, even if the Jinling defenders wanted to cross the river and retreat, it would be impossible.

In other words, Jinling was completely blocked. Can't even escape.

This was the reason for the chaos in the subsequent retreat.

They all wanted to escape.

They were all afraid of being surrounded by Japanese invaders.

Scrambling.

trample on each other.

Even shooting at friendly forces.

Complete collapse. No one is in control anymore.

Grit your teeth...

That being the case.

Then give it a try?

"What does Jinling's current defense deployment look like?"

"Somebody come!"

Commander Qian quickly called the combat staff.

The combat staff carried Jinling's deployment map with them. It is the latest form.

On the map, it can be clearly seen that the Purple Mountain position has been lost.

It is marked above that it was occupied by the Japanese Sixth Division.

It's the Sixth Division again.

That Hisao Tani. The fighting was quite fierce.

Made.

Didn't blow it up last time.

After counting, I found that there were a total of twelve Japanese divisions.

Twelve!

A total of twelve!

I don't know if it's full or not.

However, even if it is not full, it is already very scary.

Let’s look at the defense. There are also many troop numbers. There are more than thirty division-level units. There are ten military ranks.

It is obvious that the national army must be seriously short of personnel. It would be nice to use half the force.

Headache.

Only a handful of these division-level units were known to each other before.

Military-level units rarely interact with each other.

Confuse.

absurd.

Are you in Jiangyin Fortress, commanding the Jinling War?

Is it really possible?

It feels like bullshit.

A fantasy. One Thousand and One Nights. None of it is that absurd.

but…

There are some things he can really do.

Pick up the red pencil. Draw several circles in a row on the combat map.

"This is a Japanese 150mm howitzer."

"This one too."

Zhang Yong frowned as he continued to draw.

Damn it, the Japanese invaders actually mobilized three independent field heavy artillery regiments!

A hundred 150mm howitzers!

No wonder they conquered Purple Mountain so quickly.

Those 150mm howitzers are indeed too lethal.

"You know everything?"

"Know."

Zhang Yong did not explain.

That's right. I know it all. I am a god.

Therefore, whoever believes in me will have eternal life.

"The focus of the Japanese attack is in the west." Commander Qian quickly made a judgment.

He is also a veteran of the battlefield.

There is still a general level of military command.

Now that Zhang Yong had marked the Japanese howitzer positions, it was much easier to make a judgment.

"Pukou."

"The Japanese invaders want to cross the river?"

"Yes. I want to cut off the defenders' retreat across the river."

"That…"

Commander Qian's face looked ugly.

They were completely unprepared for Pukou mentioned by Zhang Yong.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese invaders actually thought of crossing the river. They actually wanted to blockade the defenders and retreat across the river in advance.

Damn it!

This is a huge loophole!

It must be made up for immediately!

Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Shaolong..."

"Hold on."

Zhang Yong continued to draw circles.

I won’t tell you how to fight. I really don’t understand.

However, now, I can label all the heavy weapons of the Japanese invaders.

Including artillery, tanks and more. Then you make your own judgment based on the data.

lock up!

Draw a bunch of circles.

Then I found out it was over.

So many artillery positions!

In addition to the 150mm howitzers, there are also a large number of 105mm heavy cannons.

The standing divisions of the Japanese invaders were all equipped with a heavy artillery regiment. Both have thirty-six 105mm heavy cannons.

"So many..." Commander Qian took a breath.

Just talk about how the Japanese invaders' attack could be so violent. It turned out that there were too many artillery pieces.

More than a hundred 150mm howitzers.

There are more than two hundred 105mm howitzers.

How could the national army withstand such fierce firepower?

Others also looked at each other.

For the first time, I learned that the Japanese invaders actually had so many heavy weapons.

It’s a world of difference!

The national army's 105mm and 150mm howitzers suffered heavy losses. It can no longer play a big role in the battle.

Only some of the 75mm mountain guns can barely hold up.

However, compared with the artillery fire of the Japanese invaders, they were nothing more than fireflies.

"Shaolong, such detailed information..."

"No one asked me before."

"this…"

Commander Qian was silent.

Of course he knew that Zhang Yong was emotional.

The committee members also knew that Zhang Yong was in mood. That's why he had to come in person.

If Zhang Yong had just been ordered to go to Jinling in a telegram, this little guy might have violated the law and deliberately delayed it.

It turns out. He's right.

This information alone is priceless...

wrong.

It cannot be measured by value at all.

If Zhang Yong had been allowed to intervene in the Jinling War earlier, it is estimated that Purple Mountain would not have been lost.

It's a pity...

It's too late to say anything now.

"Shaolong, I will report all the information to the headquarters immediately. You can mobilize the troops now."

"I?"

"Yes. It must be issued in your name. It can boost morale."

"Well…"

"Frankly speaking, everyone is in a very low mood. They are also very desperate. Everyone does not say it, but they feel in their hearts that you are the only hope..."

"Well…"

"The troops who fought side by side with you on the Songhu battlefield are willing to listen to you. For those who are not familiar with you, I am responsible for communicating."

"OK."

Zhang Yong did not refuse.

There's no time.

In fact, you don’t need to do much.

For the time being, we only need to plug the loophole in Pukou. Just prevent the Japanese invaders from crossing the river and heading north.

The rest are not fatal.

Although the Japanese invaders were powerful, they could only push back.

When it comes to the flat push stage, there is no possibility that the entire battle situation will collapse at a stroke.

Facts have proved that without command confusion, Jinling would not have fallen in such a short period of time.

Pondering the map. There are already some ideas.

"Order the 74th Army to move five kilometers westward and deploy a defensive line to prevent the Japanese invaders from crossing the river."

"What else?"
