This can be seen from the layout of the whole battle of crossing the river. What to choose to cross the river with the state and Dangtu is to avoid the main force of the Anhui army, then prepare to insert it after crossing the river, then divide the fourth division and the second mixed brigade, and then adopt the tactics of breaking each other.
To look down upon the present 33rd regiment Fang Qingkun is also playing this skill!
Moreover, the game was relatively successful. Only one battalion was able to make circuitous maneuvers to drive the enemy, which also created favorable tactical opportunities and then directly defeated the infantry battalion of Anhui Army.
You know, the strength of both sides is almost the same, but Fengjun was able to create a local strength advantage through various tactics, and then annihilate the infantry battalion of the Anhui Army one by one. This routine is exactly the same as the battle between the sixth brigade of Fengjun and the seventh brigade of the Anhui Army in Chuzhou Campaign.
"Now that the first battalion has successfully defeated the enemy, let the second battalion also step up its offensive to stall them. Today I will make them all unable to leave!" Fang Qingkun is now in a good mood and successfully defeated an enemy battalion, which means that he has defeated less than one-third of the enemy’s troops, so that his own side has truly occupied the military advantage.
Coupled with the success of the first battalion’s detour and cooperation with the second battalion, it is not so easy for the remaining battalion of the Anhui army to leave
Sure enough, things developed almost as Fang Qingkun expected. Although the battalion left by the Anhui army struggled, it could not stop the two battalions of the 33 rd regiment from being attacked on both sides. Then they tried to take the initiative to retreat, but they left there!
Although the battlefield is full of accidents, the miracle is called miracle because it rarely appears, and it is obviously impossible for the Anhui army to have any miracle today
As a result, the 33 rd regiment directly defeated the remaining Anhui infantry battalion like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves
In this way, the three battalions of the 25 th regiment of the first line of Maanshan deployed by the Anhui army have been defeated one after another, which means that the troops who are crossing the river for a short time will no longer encounter the enemy’s counterattack and interception
And it will take at least ten hours before the main force of the Seventh Division of Liangjiang River in Dangtu arrives.
"Let the 33 rd regiment wait for a while and immediately deploy the defense line!" General Pan Luanqing, the brigade commander of the 17th Brigade, has just taken the bow. Behind him are a large number of soldiers of the 34th Regiment crossing the river!
"In addition, inform the military command to request ammunition to reinforce the 33 rd regiment. The ammunition consumption is relatively large!" Immediately after Pan Luan cleared the beach, he took his staff officers to inspect and prepare to deploy defense lines.
In the next two days, Pan Luanqing was very arduous. Although the 33rd Regiment had successfully defeated an enemy regiment, on the whole, it did not alleviate many difficulties faced by the 17th Brigade. To some extent, the enemy facing the 17th Brigade was not just an Anhui military camp or regiment, but an entire Seventh Division of the Liangjiang River.
When the 17th Brigade stopped expanding its depth and dug trenches to set up defense lines, his troops were just as busy. The artillery troops were busy dragging heavy artillery to the river. The trench troops were busy transporting all kinds of materials, and those ships didn’t stop for a moment, either transporting soldiers or transporting all kinds of ammunition supplies. In addition, the soldiers of the task force were waving sweat and stepping up the erection of pontoon bridges.
When the fourth army was busy, the Seventh Division of Liangjiang in Dangtu County also received the news that a large number of troops from Fengjun had landed in Maanshan. Half an hour later, a regiment of the Seventh Division was already rushing to Maanshan, and then more main forces, artillery and trench, also rushed to Maanshan.
Chapter three hundred and ninety-four Lei Zhenchun Cautious
Looking at the distance, Fang Qingkun, an Anhui soldier, showed a trace of sorrow!
Since the afternoon, a large number of Anhui soldiers wearing dark blue troops have appeared in front of his position. If these Anhui troops attack as soon as they arrive, it will be a good thing, because it will form a refueling tactic, which is good for the troops with fewer troops to cross the river
What worries Fang Qingkun, however, is that the Anhui army didn’t say it was in a hurry to attack, but stopped several kilometers away from Fengjun, and then waited for the follow-up troops to arrive while doing various pre-attack arrangements.
When Fang Qingkun tried to take the initiative to attack, due to the long distance and wide terrain, the Anhui army could react in time and make corresponding tactical arrangements, which forced Fang Qingkun to stop taking the initiative to attack.
However, as time passed, more and more Anhui troops gathered across the street, from a battalion to a regiment to a brigade. This was not enough. Finally, Fang Qingkun saw the enemy artillery units from his telescope.
"Now the real test is coming!" Fang Qingkun has some worries in his heart, but in front of the Ministry, he put away these worries and showed his confidence as always!
Fang Qingkun’s self-confidence influenced the officers of the 33 rd regiment. Although he was drumming in his heart, he had many worries about the follow-up war, but there was no such thing as a mess.
And the stability of officers also directly stabilized the confidence of soldiers!
After all, ordinary soldiers don’t know that they are about to face an attack by more than one brigade of the enemy, and they can get a message from the officer.
The officers told them that they were not worried that we would fuck them when they came, and that our reinforcements were about to arrive. After our main army crossed the river, the whole south of the Yangtze River would be ours.
However, there are also some clever soldiers who can’t inadvertently show their nervous expressions from the officers and the continuous appearance of Anhui soldiers in the distance. This time, the situation is somewhat different from usual.
The biggest difference is that this time we didn’t take the initiative to attack, which is very rare in the history of the ninth division.
However, it is different to see whether the soldiers are a few or most soldiers or dig trenches to build defense lines according to the instructions of the officers
And a few kilometers away from Xishan, the temporary headquarters of Ma ‘anshan 17th Brigade, the war staff officers have been busy making soldiers run in and out. These soldiers rode horses that had been transported across the river at great cost, and handed back various battle reports while rushing around this small beach, and at the same time lost Pan Luanqing’s various battle orders to officers at the front.
Pan Luanqing, the head of the headquarters, is also sitting in the theme with a cautious expression, while Fang Fang is the head of the 34th regiment, Qu Ganyun, the chief of staff of the 17th brigade of Qu Zhiqing, and other officers of the 17th brigade of the school.
"The pressure on the 33 rd Regiment is still too heavy, and their ammunition consumption is extremely high. After many wars, the soldiers’ physical strength consumption is extremely high, and their morale is also reduced. If they are allowed to resist the attack of the main force of the 7 th Division of Liangjiang alone, I am afraid it will be too reluctant!" Quzhiqing school face expression said
Pan Luanqing immediately said, "Although the 33rd Regiment is a little difficult, we have a brigade not only to guard against the Seventh Division of Liangjiang River, but also to reserve enough troops to stop the Anhui Army troops from the east and the Anhui Army counter-offensive troops from the west, which are different from the Seventh Division of Liangjiang River, and the fourth division troops from the east."
"I don’t think what kind of troops the fourth division is. I have said more and must pay enough attention!" Pan Luanqing said, "Now the enemy has not launched a large-scale counterattack, and we still have to wait for the deployment of our artillery units on the north shore, so we can get enough artillery support and it will be much easier to fight!"
The deployment of Fengjun artillery units was more difficult than expected. Yesterday, Fengjun artillery units were deployed six or seven kilometers away. Although they maneuvered last night and this afternoon, they didn’t walk much late. When they arrived at the shore, they found that the soil was muddy. Many artillery turret wheels were deeply immersed in the soil, but they could not be pulled out by dragging their horses. Finally, they had to deploy a large number of soldiers to help.
However, if Fengjun wants to deploy one or two guns, then the problem is not big, but the key is that Fengjun needs to deploy guns in advance, but there are dozens of guns!
In order to give adequate artillery support to the 17th Brigade on the South Bank and reduce the shortage of ammunition, the 4th Army collected all the field artillery, not only the 9th Division’s own two field artillery battalions, but also the 14th Division’s one field artillery battalion was transferred. Three battalions are 40 doors.
These seventy-five mm field guns don’t seem to be big, but their actual weight is not light. They all weigh about one ton, and they are maneuvering in muddy fields. The speed is unbearable.
In addition, the artillery units of Fengjun encountered another problem, that is, it was determined in advance that the artillery positions were all soft and needed a firm and stable flat ground, which forced Fengjun to spend a lot of time building artillery positions.
These piles add up, which leads to great trouble for the advance troops of Fengjun artillery unit. It is scheduled to be finished before 12 noon, but it is already 14 noon. Fengjun has successfully prepared one battalion of artillery and two battalions of artillery are yet to come.
Close artillery support is the key to whether the 17 th brigade can hold the beachhead position!
The situation of the 17th Brigade of Panluanqing before the North Shore Artillery was not fully prepared can be said to be very pessimistic.
"The Seventh Division of Liangjiang in the west has gradually merged with the brigade commander. Do you think it is necessary to transfer two battalions from our regiment to reinforce the 33 rd regiment and leave one battalion here?"
Pan Luanqing didn’t answer immediately but turned to ask, "How many scouts did you send to the east? Is there no news yet? "
Qu Zhiqing said, "We have sent nine scouts to the east, all of whom are the most elite scouts selected by the military, but there is still no news!"
In order to support the intelligence receiving ability of the 17th Brigade after crossing the river, Meng Enyuan specially selected more than a dozen elite cavalry from the 9th Division, 14th Division and 1st Huncheng Brigade, which belonged to cavalry regiment and battalion, and sent these cavalry soldiers and horses across the river to the 4th Army. However, several large ships were deployed to transport the horses across the river. Now, in the crossing army, Pan Luanqing, a senior general mount, has never been brought to Jiang Lai, not to mention his middle-level officer. At present, there are commanders and reconnaissance mounts to cross the river with the troops.
Pan Luanqing said, "In that case, keep alert in the east. Your 34th Regiment is ready to deploy a battalion to support the 33rd Regiment and send another battalion eastward."
Pan Luanqing has only six infantry battalions in his hands at present, and now all four are ready to put one battalion on the western front and the eastern front, while the remaining battalion is his last reserve team, and this reserve team will never move until the most critical moment.
After Pan Luanqing made this decision, the 2nd Battalion of the 34th Regiment quickly went to the East Line to reinforce the 33rd Regiment!
With the deployment of troops by the 17th Brigade, a group of senior officers of the Anhui Army, dressed in dark blue, were also holding binoculars to observe the troops in the direction of Rentouji in the west of Maanshan.
Lei Zhenchun, wearing a dark blue general in the old Beiyang era, often took the epaulettes with him in the landing army. However, this general, like many generals such as Anhui Army and Jin Army, belonged to the warlord and privately awarded him the rank of the capital army. The rank of the army was less. This less general was awarded to Lei Dongyun at the end of 1996 when Wang Yingkai, Duan Qirui, Zhao Dongyun, Wang Shizhen and others reached a secret agreement with his warlord generals.
Except for serving in the army, most of his warlord generals have two ranks, one is that local warlords grant ranks privately, and the other is that the Civil Service Office of the War Department officially registers ranks.
Lei Zhenchun served as the commander of the Second Division of Liangjiang Army last year. After the Jiangbei Battle, the Second Division of Liangjiang Army was defeated, but it was wiped out. But Duan Qirui also knew that the second division was defeated. After the second division of Lei Zhenchun was defeated, Lei Zhenchun was not left out, but was directly transferred to the newly established seventh division commander of Liangjiang.
Lei Zhenchun is naturally the officers of the Seventh Division of Liangjiang.
These people are all holding binoculars to observe the stranger’s head in Los Angeles for a long time before they put on binoculars one after another.
Lei Zhenchun said, "The troops are almost ready. First, send a battalion to test their firepower, and then let the rear artillery units prepare for artillery coverage at any time!"
Lei Zhenchun had 7,000 troops at this time, but the strong fighting capacity of Fengjun in Jiangbei World War I brought him a profound impact. When he knew that he was facing the ninth division, the three main forces of Fengjun, he was even more cautious, and he did not rashly attack because his troops exceeded the other side.
Lei Zhenchun ordered the Anhui army to go out before the camp soon!
Fang Qingkun also saw that Feng Jun had launched an offensive war on the opposite side at the moment. He naturally knew that this should be the enemy’s fire test unit. He immediately said, "Don’t fire the old man without authorization, and move his position immediately after the first wave of heavy machine guns!"
As the orders of the two sides reached one after another, the frontline troops of both sides soon exchanged fire for the first time!
Guns and explosions once again, the little man’s head rang!
