"In terms of defense, while reinforcing the original position, it also uses the damaged tanks abandoned by the Japanese army, which can be used as a temporary fortress." Sangou added a little detail to it.

"......" Zhang Lingwu didn't speak, and nodded slightly.

"The forward positions and the central main positions will be strengthened to build communication trenches, and at the appropriate time the forward positions can be opened, increasing the depth and flexibility of the defense, so that the Japanese infantry can break into the front of our main position, and we can form crossfire to strike the enemy."

"What about the position behind the left hand side?"

"This is to ask the 95th Division to send an operational staff officer or commander to our side, step up cooperation together, and maintain rapid cooperation through telephone and radio contact."

“……”

"On the position, you can first show weakness or show the illusion of improper coordination, attract the Japanese army to drive straight in, and then encircle, cut off its rear road, and gather and annihilate it."

"Okay, what you said is very good, I will think about it carefully, it is late at night, you should also hurry back and rest, tomorrow morning, you take those few subordinates, hurry back to eat, there are many things to do next."

"Yes, sir."

Sangou stood up, put on his hat, and Lizheng gave a military salute, and Zhang Lingwu also gave a military salute to Sangou, which was regarded as a return salute.

"Oh yes, you tell those subordinates, the next time you have a move, don't be too ruthless, it's all your own people, leave some way out, and see you in the future."

When the three dogs were about to step out of the regiment headquarters, they heard the last instruction from the regiment commander, and immediately turned around and said hello.

……

The next day, May 15, the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), in the early morning, the Japanese army put up the reconnaissance balloon early and inspected the positions of the Chinese army in mid-air.

"Can you use the anti-aircraft cannon to shoot down the dog's balloon?" Liu Guangyu, the commander of the third battalion, asked Jin as he faced the elder of the anti-aircraft artillery beside him.

The 3rd Battalion did not move forward today because the 7th Company made a meritorious service and performed outstandingly, but also lost some personnel, so it did not move forward today, and it still held the main position in the center, which was together with the concealed position of the battle defense artillery.

"It's a bit hanging, I'm not sure, if there is a 37 anti-aircraft gun, it can be shot down 100 percent, and it is okay to have an anti-aircraft machine gun, our battle defense gun, range, accuracy, and continuous firing are not as good as the 37 anti-aircraft gun."

Although the caliber of the shells of the anti-aircraft guns is also 37, the barrel is not as long as the 37 anti-aircraft guns, and the pressure of the shells in the chamber is not enough, so the firing range is much shorter.

And the 37 anti-aircraft artillery can be fired continuously, dong dong dong, it is very enjoyable to fight, Lao Jin used to fight when he was learning artillery in the artillery school, and when defending Nanjing, Lao Jin was still the fourth gunner of the 37 anti-aircraft artillery.

At that time, in the anti-aircraft artillery position of the Purple Mountain, several 37 antiaircraft guns were in different directions, and as soon as the devil plane came, they opened fire at the same time, and continuous bursts of shells hit it, forming a network of shells around the plane.

If the devil's fighter is detected early, even if it climbs, there is still a chance to escape, and those big-bellied bombers are not fast, and the climb is very slow, and it is easy to be hit.

At that time, the Purple Mountain anti-aircraft artillery position shot down several devils' planes, and finally the devils organized dozens of fighters to attack the antiaircraft artillery positions, and the two sides fought extremely fiercely.

Several devil planes were shot down, but the number of Chinese anti-aircraft guns was not large, and the supply of shells was not much, and in the end, there were no shells, and in this way, almost all the anti-aircraft guns were blown up by the devil planes.

Lao Jin survived the ground-air battle by luck, and without anti-aircraft artillery, he can only hit small artillery on the ground now, and the 37 anti-aircraft artillery is also okay, which is much better than no artillery.

Cannon Elder Jin also looked at the devil's reconnaissance balloon with regret, and hated to fly into the sky and drag the devil down. Battalion Commander Liu also scolded indignantly.

Although the Japanese army has seen a lot of observation balloons, which were hung on their heads almost every day in Shanghai last year, now in the Central Plains, the devil is still riding on the heads of the Chinese, and it is really indignant.

"Besides, our anti-aircraft artillery can't reveal its position now, once it doesn't hit the devil balloon, it will immediately attract the bombardment of the devil's cannon, this business is not cost-effective."

Lao Jin was also very worried, before the battle began, the cannon would be reimbursed, so it would be very troublesome to fight the devil's tank next, and Battalion Commander Liu also nodded in agreement.

As expected by Sangou, the devil's artillery this morning was really much denser, and under the observation of the balloon's positioning data, the devil's cannon continued to bombard the positions of the Chinese army as if they had eyes.

In particular, in the forward positions of the 305th Regiment, almost all the breastwork and trench communication trenches were overturned, and the junction on the left and right sides was also hit by extended artillery fire.

Fortunately, the 305th Regiment did a lot of preparations for positions last night, such as camouflaging real bunkers and tunnels, digging out some fake positions, and letting the devil's artillery blow it up.

Although the devil pretended to blow up the junction of the 305th Regiment on both sides when the artillery fire was extended, as if it was done occasionally, in Zhang Lingwu's eyes, it was equivalent to the devil clearly telling him the next battle intention.

Nanyang Zhuge Liang, sitting firmly in the military tent, laid down the gossip array, and caught the flying generals alone.

Zhang Lingwu had already exchanged operational ideas with the brigade headquarters and the division headquarters last night, and the division headquarters also supported his plan and specially contacted the 95th Division, which attached great importance to it and sent an operational staff officer to the 305th regiment headquarters that night to coordinate the operation.

Now that the troops have been dispatched, they are only waiting for the tricks of the Japanese army, so as to brake quietly and strike preemptively.

As soon as the devil waited for the artillery fire to extend, he rushed out without expecting it, regardless of the barrage and gunsmoke.

Yesterday, many of the devil's tanks were knocked out, and today the devil's tank is not afraid? I was afraid, but there was no way, the military order could not be disobeyed, so I could only tremble and stagger forward like walking on thin ice.

If it were replaced in peacetime, some abandoned tanks in the Chinese army's positions, the devils would definitely try their best to snatch them back, or drag them back.

It was only yesterday that a brigade was beaten by the Chinese army and lost its armor, and fled for more than ten miles until it reached Han Daokou, which can be regarded as picking up some rotten lives.

Everyone has run away, some small guns have been lost, not to mention the need to grab the heavy and dead rotten tanks to go back, so we can only let these broken copper and scrap iron be thrown on the position.

Anyway, the Chinese soldiers will not open or repair, and the positions of the Chinese soldiers will eventually be their own devils, they have always thought so, thinking that not only this position, but the whole of China will be defeated by them.

These rotten tanks were temporarily stored in the Chinese soldiers' positions, and it was not too late to pick them up in a few days.

However, for the devil tank soldiers, the wreckage of these tanks is as shocking as the corpses of their companions, and the death of rabbits and foxes is sad. Not to mention the same kind.

The wreckage of these tanks is also a constant reminder that if they go further, their fate is likely to be the same, and sadly, they have no way back, even if the road ahead is a dead end, they have to move on.

We can only pin our hopes on luck in the fierce shelling for more than an hour just now, hoping that those mighty artillery can blow up all the anti-tank guns of the Chinese army.
