readx; On the north bank of the Qingchuan River, in a small village opposite Anzhou, although the night has fallen, this small village is brightly lit, everywhere are soldiers in brown and green military uniforms in and out, the figure is shaking and the lights are bright, from the north of the country dirt road appeared several car lights, not long to hear the low sound of the car, the night is dazzling by the car lights, and after the eyes get used to it, the people in the same place found that there are two Zhongwu off-road jeeps, This off-road jeep is a product of China's Wuhan Automobile Company, although the scale of this company is far less than China's largest automobile manufacturing enterprise Zhongfu Automobile, but Zhongwu Automobile Company as a rising star, has also received a lot of capital, especially the support of the political axe, and Zhongfu Automobile is mainly engaged in the civilian car and truck market, Zhongwu Automobile Company in order to obtain living space so a considerable part of the energy on the off-road jeep. The Zhongwu off-road jeep launched by www.biquge.info the pen has become the standard jeep of the military in the mid-twenties, and it is heavily equipped. Zhongwu Automobile Company also relied on this military vehicle to really gain a firm foothold, and successively launched other military vehicles in an attempt to continue to expand the use of military vehicles.

The Chinese Army's military vehicle division standard is divided according to the load capacity, this noon four-wheeled jeep is a load of 0.75 tons of class, up to 1.5 tons, 2.5 tons, four tons and other levels of wheeled trucks, under it there is also a 0.3 ton level, these different military vehicles have different uses, the division standard is based on the towing artillery to divide, 0.3 tons of four-wheeled jeeps are mainly used as passenger cars, usually are officers' cars. However, the 0.3-ton jeep can also tow the 37-mm series anti-tank guns and 1915-style mountain guns that are heavily equipped with the Chinese Army in service when necessary. Of course, this is a special case and generally not used in this way.

The main artillery towing vehicle in the Chinese army is the Zhongwu Jeep, a 0.75-ton Zhongwu four-wheeled off-road jeep that can carry six heavily armed soldiers, including the driver, and a 7.92mm heavy machine gun if necessary. Of course, transporting soldiers is only its sideline, and its real role is to tow most of the regimental and divisional artillery in the Chinese Army, including 37mm series anti-tank guns, 75mm mountain guns, 75mm field guns, and 105 mountain guns.

One more point of five tons of trucks is the Zhongfu truck, this military truck can be said to be specially equipped for the 1925 105 mm howitzer, because the 1925 105 mm howitzer weighs 1.4 tons, and the original Zhongbu Ji Pula does not move. In addition, when the army planned to equip the 105mm howitzer, it had already considered using all trucks to tow it, so this military truck was used as a companion truck and the 1925-style 105mm howitzer into the army's large-scale service at the same time. In addition to towing 105 mm howitzers, 1.5 ton military trucks are also used to tow a small number of equipped 57 mm anti-tank guns and divisional 30 mm anti-aircraft guns, but now there are very few 57 mm anti-tank guns in the army, and there are not many anti-aircraft guns, so for the time being, a 5-ton truck is specially used to tow 1925 105 mm howitzers.

The 2.5-ton trucks up were used as artillery carts and other material carriers, and then there were four-ton heavy trucks, which were mainly used to haul 155mm howitzers and 105 cannons.

Although the number of trucks in the Chinese Army is still not large, and they are mainly concentrated in the armored units, and other infantry units still use a large number of horses as the main transport force, but the 47th Division, as a long-term deployment on the Yalu River in the northeast, is a long-term combat readiness of the troops, so this equipment is priority equipment, not only has two artillery battalions of 105 mm howitzers in 1925, but also equipped with a large number of trucks.

The Zhongwu jeep in front of him is one of them, and five or six people quickly walked down from the jeep, and if you look closely, you can find that the person who came is a lieutenant colonel, and this rank is not low in the Chinese army.

Soon someone greeted him: "Head Qin, you are here!" ”

"Staff Officer Zheng, how dare you bother to come and pick it up in person!" Commander Qin looked at the lieutenant colonel in front of him, and said politely: "What about them, have the others arrived?" ”

The lieutenant colonel in front of him is much younger than Commander Qin, it is estimated that he is only about twenty-three or four, and the one who can climb to this position at a young age is either talented or has a deep background, and the young lieutenant colonel in front of him belongs to the kind with a deep background, his father is Zheng Zuyin's own nephew, and although the relatives are far away in his generation, this background can still frighten many people.

"Now that everyone has arrived, others who can't come will be notified by phone later!"

After Staff Officer Zheng and Regiment Commander Qin walked into the temporary division headquarters side by side, they saw that there were many people inside, and the top was naturally Tang Qiang, the division commander, and then the deputy division commander, the division chief of staff, the commander of the 471st regiment, and a large number of senior officers of the 47th Division, in addition to the people of the 47th Division, there was also an Air Force Major wearing a white air force academy uniform.

After waiting for a few more minutes, Tang Qiang spoke: "Since everyone is here, let's start!" ”

As his words fell, he nodded to Staff Officer Zheng, who was the deputy chief of staff of the division, stood up, and then pointed to a military map hanging on the wooden board with the command list under the light and said: "Commanders and colleagues, as of half an hour ago, that is, before 6:30 p.m. today, our army has launched three consecutive attacks on the army on the opposite side of the Qingchuan River, and the 472nd Regiment, with the strong support of the division's artillery and air force, made a forced crossing at three o'clock this afternoon, and successfully occupied the No. 17 area, That's it! The strength of the 472nd Regiment is about the same time as the crossing of the 4732 Battalion in the north, but the scale of the 472nd Regiment is much larger, and it is precisely because the crossing of the 472 River makes the Yue Army feel threatened, so it is not able to draw troops to intercept the 4732 Battalion in the north.

However, then the army took advantage of the terrain to launch a large number of interception artillery attacks on the river, resulting in serious damage to our follow-up transport ships, the loss of about 200 soldiers, and several artillery pieces sank into the river with the ships. Although the artillery unit also carried out counter-artillery bombardment, the overall effect was not great, and the No. 17 area and the river are still exposed to the artillery fire of the army! ”

Staff Officer Zheng continued: "As for the Qingchuan River Bridge, our army and the Yue army had a small-scale exchange of fire across the bridge, but in order to avoid heavy damage to the bridge, we did not dare to carry out large-scale artillery support. The Japanese army seems to have this concern, and they also did not carry out large-scale artillery support in the area of the Qingchuan River Bridge. ”

The Qingchuan River Bridge was taken by both sides, and now everyone occupies both sides, and no one can cross it, but no one will blow it up.

"In addition, the 4732 Infantry Battalion under the 473rd Regiment of our division has successfully crossed the river eight kilometers north of Anzhou, and the unit has not been intercepted and counterattacked by the Japanese army on a large scale, and is currently advancing to Anzhou overnight, and it is expected to be able to reach the northwest area of Anzhou in the early morning of tomorrow, that is, the No. 17 area where the 472nd Regiment will cross the river and land." After Staff Officer Zheng's words came out, the other officers present were happy.

The people present are all professional officers, even if they have no talent for fighting, but the military hard knowledge learned in the military academy and in the army all year round is real, so they don't have to think too much, and they can see at a glance that it is not feasible for the 47th Division to force the bridge now, and people say, "Ben only needs to set up two heavy machine guns on another section of the bridge to completely block it, and even in order to prevent China from using tanks and other armored weapons to forcibly seize the bridge, he said that he also deployed several anti-tank guns at the other end of the bridge, It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an impregnable wall.

So now if the 47th Division wants to cross the river, it can only cross the river directly, and the main force of the 472nd Regiment crossing the river is suppressed in the No. 17 area and cannot move, but if the 472nd Regiment can be reinforced by the 4732nd Battalion, then it may be able to quickly break through the current defensive position of the Japanese army, and then go deep into the hinterland of the Japanese army, and directly conquer the other end of the Qingchuan River Bridge from the land.

At that time, as long as the bridge is defended and protected, it will be equivalent to opening a road south to Pyongyang.

And all these hopes are pinned on whether the 4732nd Battalion can successfully break through to Area 17 and assist the 472nd Regiment to break through the defensive positions of the Japanese army.

"I believe Han San has this ability!" Tang Qiang said this, he knew something about Han San's ability, otherwise he would not have sent his 4732 battalion north to cross the river.

The 4732 Infantry Battalion, which had high hopes from the 47th Division, was sneaking in the night at this moment, and since it had defeated the squadron of the Japanese Army that had come to counterattack on the beachhead, Captain Wang's company quickly pursued southward, and used strong firepower to continuously conquer several strongholds along the way, opening the way for the follow-up march of the main force of the battalion headquarters.

By six o'clock in the evening, the 4732nd Battalion had already advanced up to five kilometers, less than four kilometers from the 17th area of the 472nd Regiment.

At this time, Han San also received an order from the regiment headquarters, and looking at this order made Han San also a little hesitant, the regiment headquarters ordered him to continue to advance, be sure to connect with the 472nd regiment tomorrow, and cover the 472nd regiment to break through the current army position. And the regimental headquarters has already sent the 4733 battalion to prepare to cross the river and cover the rear of the 4732 battalion.

For the high-level tactical arrangement, Han San also guessed a little bit about it, and he also knew that the 472nd Regiment was indeed dangerous, and if he was late, it was estimated that the 472nd Regiment would be completely suppressed after daylight tomorrow.

The 4732 battalion did not rest, but continued to march, along the way in order to speed up, the 4732 battalion even bypassed several strongholds of the army, and when it was more than four o'clock in the morning, the 4732 battalion had already reported to the division headquarters by radio, they had already connected with the 472 scouts, and agreed to launch a large-scale surprise attack on the army in front of them at 5:15 an hour later, and use the dark night before dawn to lay the victory in one fell swoop, so it was hoped that the division headquarters would provide strong and powerful fire support.

As time passed little by little, Lieutenant Colonel Qin, the commander of the 47th Artillery Regiment of the 47th Division, looked at the pointer on his wrist and ordered with an expressionless face: "Order, carry out comprehensive artillery coverage fire on the scheduled areas of the 18th and 26th!" ”

As his order was given, there was a loud rumbling sound from the artillery position in the rear, and then the flames crossed the sky and smashed to the ground like stars falling, and the flames of the explosion reflected the sky red.

It didn't take long for the artillery positions on the side of the Japanese army to open fire one after another, and in an instant the two sides carried out a large-scale artillery bombardment in the dark night before dawn.

Time still passed bit by bit, and after a full ten minutes, Lieutenant Colonel Qin gave another order: "Order the third battalion to counter-suppress the artillery positions of the Yue Army!" ”

The third battalion was equipped with 105 mm howitzers, and they were deployed relatively forward, so it was more suitable to suppress the enemy's artillery.

Ten minutes later, Lieutenant Colonel Qin ordered again: "Order the 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion to gradually extend the artillery fire to the 19th and 27th areas!" ”

As the artillery fire of the artillery regiment began to extend to the depth of the army, the temporary position of the 472nd regiment in the No. 17 area sounded a dense copper whistle, a large number of soldiers in brown and green uniforms crawled out of the bunker, and then rushed towards the cat's waist quickly, the heavy machine guns in the rear began to shoot out countless bullets to provide fire cover for the charging soldiers, and soon the opposite side said, "This position also spewed out tongues of fire, when the machine guns of both sides fired one after another, the mortars of both sides also began to appear, Unlike the mortars of the Chinese army, which fired at the charging Chinese soldiers, a large number of Chinese mortars, especially the small-caliber 60-millimeter mortars, concentrated the main firepower on the defensive fire points of the Japanese army, especially the heavy machine guns that focused on attacking the Japanese army.

A few minutes later, the northeast side of Area 17 suddenly burst into gunfire, and the intensity of the explosions and gunfire was no less than that of the 472nd Regiment's charge, and it was obvious that the 4732nd Battalion had launched a diversionary attack, providing direct cover and containment for the 472nd Regiment's charge.

In the dark night, two [***] people fought each other with cannonballs, bullets and even bayonets, for the country, for the nation!
