Chapter 51: Bloody Battle 151 Heights
Nanjing City has two strategic locations, Zijin Mountain and Yuhuatai.
If Zijin Mountain is the east gate of Nanjing, then Yuhuatai is the south gate of Nanjing. This is a natural fortress that guards the safety of this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.
The terrain of Yuhuatai is not high, with a highest point of only 100 meters. From west to east, there are three hills, Shizigang, Fengtaigang and Meigang, which stretches for 3,500 meters, with uncertain undulations and dangerous terrain, which is a natural barrier.
In order to fight against the Japanese army, trenches, wire mesh and reinforced concrete bunkers had long been built here.
The descendants of Sun Yuan and Liang Sun of the 88th Division are still there. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, you know the two brigades.
The 6th Division of the Japanese Army was the main attacker and the 114th Division was the auxiliary attacker. It started to launch a fierce attack on Yuhuatai from the afternoon of the 9th.
The 6th Division is known as the "black beast" in the Japanese army. The division commander was the notorious murderous demon Tani Shouo.
Gu Shoufu's division was extremely cruel. He joined the Battle of Songhu from the North China battlefield, landed in Jinshanwei, burned, killed and looted all the way, and the villages he passed by were not born long ago.
From Hangzhou Bay to Nanjing, 300 kilometers along the way were left with their animals that burned, killed, lewd and plundered were everywhere.
This is a criminal force.
They encountered stubborn resistance from the Chinese defenders in Yuhuatai, from the afternoon of the 9th to the morning of the 10th.
Tani Shouo commanded his 6th Division to charge several times by the defenders and suffered heavy losses. He was about to go crazy for a while. The latest chapter has been uploaded
In addition, the 9th Division, which arrived at Guanghua Gate, also suffered a head-on blow to the 87th Division and suffered considerable losses.
The 16th Division, which attacked Zijin Mountain, had the most difficult life. Not only did it not take down the breakthrough of Hongmao Mountain, but even the reinforcements of the chariots were destroyed, and there were difficulties in replenishing ammunition, especially the artillery shells.
The Japanese army's offensive under the city of Nanjing was immediately frustrated, but the Chinese defenders who were defending the city won a chance to breathe and adjust, and their morale was high.
Although this subtle change may not necessarily change the ultimate fate of the battle situation, it will undoubtedly be much better than the situation in history.
As a future person, Leng Feng certainly knew some inside information about the Japanese army's battle against Nanjing, and the front-line division commanders and some officers were shaken by the tenacious resistance of the Chinese defenders.
Among them is the murderous demon Tani Shouo. After failing to attack Yuhuatai in succession, he sent an emergency telegram to Matsui Ishione in Gusu to rest and restore the troops to fight again.
Tani Suo was not the first one, and soon, the Ninth Division also sent a similar telegram requesting a rest and resumption.
At this moment, the special train of chariots and specialized materials warehouses were destroyed. For the Japanese army, this was a worse injury.
These are classified information from the Japanese army and are impossible to know. Even if Leng Feng knows them, no one will believe them if he says them.
The Japanese army's offensive was like a rainbow, but it was slightly blocked under the city of Nanjing. How could it take the initiative to ask for a ceasefire and rest?
This is simply impossible. The Japanese army's offensive efforts have always been strengthening, without any signs of slowing down.
Leng Feng returned to the 151 Highland, and at this time, Deputy Company Commander Cheng Gang had already led a company to repel a Japanese attack.
Luo Yufeng was also on the 151 high ground. He was worried that Leng Feng would not be there, Cheng Gang was not in command and could not stabilize his position.
"Leng Feng, you are finally back. How is the situation?" Luo Yufeng met Leng Feng when he saw Leng Feng.
"Lucky to be unlucky," Leng Feng smiled slightly.
"Really" Luo Yufeng was excited to open his mouth.
"Battle, we not only blew up the Japanese special trains of combat vehicles, but also sneaked into the Japanese supplies warehouse in Longtan, blowing up and burning down their supplies and ammunition warehouses. All the Japanese divisions' operations and supplies for a week were wiped out," Guo Weiquan added.
"My goodness, it's so big," Luo Yufeng twitched his lips and said in surprise.
"Not only that, we also got a batch of Japanese gas masks, ammunition and captured a Japanese lieutenant prisoner."
"You have also captured Japanese prisoners."
"Yes, Lao Luo, the prisoner stayed in the headquarters. He exchanged him for something and left half of the rest. You will allocate the rest to the brothers' company." Leng Feng smiled.
"Really, let me see." Luo Yufeng's eyes instantly stared at the Yaksha team members behind Leng Feng.
Maxim heavy machinery, zb26 Czech style, flower machinery
"What else?" Two mules were pulling two big trucks, one was supplies, gas masks and medicines, and the other was full of ammunition.
"Okay, okay, haha, so many weapons and ammunition are enough for us to have a good fight with the Japanese."
"It's a big deal," Leng Feng said.
"Yes, do a big fight." Luo Yufeng said excitedly, "Leng Feng, you are really a blessing in our first battalion."
"Battleman, Deputy Bing Leng has been promoted to major," Guo Weiquan reminded.
"Major, isn't that?" Luo Yufeng was stunned.
"You have also promoted the first level of the camp, the deputy of the Lieutenant Colonel, and the first battalion of our first battalion." Guo Weiquan said.
"I've been promoted, too." Luo Yufeng was a little shocked. He didn't make any contributions, so why did he get promoted?
"You don't understand, you still don't understand." Guo Weiquan squeezed his eyes at Luo Yufeng.
Luo Yufeng suddenly realized it and promoted himself, which was to move Leng Feng. The top of the battalion had decided to hand it over to Leng Feng.
Instead, I enjoyed the success of Leng Feng and was promoted by the way. The reason why I still let myself serve as the battalion commander was that Leng Feng had just arrived in the first battalion and was not familiar with the running-in, so I let myself take over for a while.
In Luo Yufeng's opinion, talents like Leng Feng either give him the corresponding position in his ability, otherwise he will not be able to stay in the first battalion for a long time.
So, he was not dissatisfied at all. On the contrary, he was very happy that the first battalion would be handed over to Leng Feng in the future, at least he would be relieved.
After all, it was a force that was brought out with me through hard work, just like my own children.
"Leng Feng, since you are back, I will leave this here to you. I will go back to the 230 Highland." Luo Yufeng said.
"Lao Luo, wait a moment"
"real"
"Of course, this was taken out of the supply of the chief of the corps. The head of the gang was unwilling to do so." Leng Feng smiled.
"I have you, thank you." Luo Yufeng laughed and punched Leng Feng when he pointed his chest at Leng Feng.
"Be gentle, Lao Luo."
"I'm leaving, the Japanese will come up soon, be careful." Luo Yufeng took half of his supplies and ammunition and strided away.
Leng Feng nodded. The Japanese army will definitely take revenge wildly next, especially the 16th Division. This time it suffered the biggest loss.
Will I vomit blood when I am angry?
"Distribute weapons and ammunition and prepare for battle." Leng Feng quickly returned to his position and issued a combat order.
"yes"
Within three minutes, the Japanese army began to violently shell the 151 highland, 105mm cannon, 150mm howitzer, and 75mm mountain cannon.
The Japanese army gathered a large group of heavy artillery groups to carry out a violent cover bombing of the 151 Highlands.
Before the Japanese bombing, all the officers and soldiers of the battalion and company had already hid in the anti-aircraft artillery hole.
Under the supervision of Leng Feng, the anti-aircraft artillery hole was thoroughly reinforced. If it could be dug deeper, it would be deeper.
The artillery position moved from the front to the back slope, and the Japanese observation balloon could not observe the artillery position of the first company.
Moreover, Leng Feng asked Cheng Gang to send someone to clear out the dead grass and branches near the position, which was to clear the shooting range. Once the enemy rushed up, these weeds and branches would become covers their charges and block the defenders' sight.
The second reason is that this is winter, the plants and trees are withered and yellow and are very easy to burn. Once the Japanese army drops in incendiary bombs, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, all the flammable and explosive things on the position must be cleaned up. This will certainly expose yourself, but it will also protect yourself better.
"Cheng Gang, tell me about the situation of repelling you from the Japanese attack."
"Okay, deputy battalion, just now the Japanese army concentrated about a squadron's troops. After the artillery fire, they launched a charge towards my high ground in a scattered formation. I followed your instructions from the deputy battalion, and waited until they were fifty meters away from the position before ordering the fire."
"Yes, we haven't exposed all our firepower."
"No, only less than one-third were used. Later, a platoon of reinforcements arrived in Luoying. The fierce battle lasted about half an hour. The Japanese army charged four times, but we all repelled."
"It seems that this is a tentative attack. This shelling should be more violent and more targeted than before."
Five minutes later, the shelling ended.
Leng Feng knew that the Japanese army's ammunition was not rich now and they had not been transported from the rear, so they could only save some money.
What's more, the 151 Highland is just such a big place, and it's not worth their too much cost. The five-minute shelling is worthy of it.
"Hurry, enter the position, no shooting is allowed without orders." As soon as the cannon stopped, Leng Feng quickly ordered.
There was only one reinforced platoon on the position and a heavy machine gun squad, which totaled only fifty people. Six people were sacrificed in the battle just now, three minor wounded people, and one serious wounded person was taken back by Luo Yufeng for treatment.
Including the Yasha team brought by Leng Feng, there are only fifty-eight people in the entire 151 Highland.
They were facing a large group of Japanese troops, with elite Japanese troops supported by heavy artillery and aircraft.
Fifty-eight people, who have to persevere on the 151 high ground until dark, seemed an impossible task.
This is not what Leng Feng asked for, but what Leng Feng asked for himself.
To cheat the enemy, you have to cheat yourself first
With a hint of wet and cold southeast wind, the smoke from the gun was blew away. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers wearing yellow military uniforms and steel helmets were hunched up, holding guns, and rushing up like locusts.
It's close, it's close
Less than thirty meters away, the Japanese soldiers screamed and launched a charge, and their hideous and terrifying faces were clearly visible.
"beat"
With the order of Leng Feng, two heavy machine guns were pushed out of the shooting port, and two flames poured out, intertwining into a sickle of death.
The Japanese army charging in the front was instantly hit, rolling down the hillside like a gourd, screaming continuously, and suffered heavy casualties.
