Zhou Wu thought in his heart, and wanted to ask the army commander for reinforcements here immediately, but when he thought of the helpless tone on the phone of the army commander, his heart was cold, in fact, the situation of the army commander Zhou Wu also knew in his heart that the military department really couldn't draw extra troops to defend Huashan.
The 11th Division only had more than 2,000 people, and it was also used to defend the third-line position in Huashan to resist the attack of the devils from the land direction to Jiangyin, and the other division, which was only more than 4,000 people, was split in half by the army commander to defend the main road between the Huashan position and Jiangyin City, and even a guard battalion to protect the military headquarters was transferred.
Now this situation, in fact, is to demolish the east wall to make up for the west wall, where there is a crisis, you Zhou Wu in the Huashan position to reinforce, unless the old army commander with the military department of the group of staff temporarily formed an advisory group of more than 100 people to Huashan, then the number of people is about a company more, but it is difficult to say whether the combat support effect is good.
Zhou Wu's command in Huashan will be greatly reduced, all you want is some leaders of the military department staring at you, and you Zhou Wu can still command freely and independently Just this point, Zhou Wu felt uncomfortable, since he became the head of the regiment, he has always been used to commanding freely and independently.
If the military department came to the military department all of a sudden, pointing fingers at you on the battlefield, with Zhou Wu's temper, he would definitely not be on the right path.
If you don't get it right, you have to make a stalemate with those staff officers in the military department, so that the old army commander can't get off the stage, and when the officers are done pulling around, this Huashan position will be finished, which is really not cost-effective, and it is not worth the risk.
But if you don't want to think of a way, Gao Xiangfa's four regiments and two thousand brothers alone can't resist the attack launched by the devil from the river, this is not a question of how much sacrifice you have and how strong your perseverance is.
This is a harsh reality with a huge disparity in strength, not to mention that the basic quality of the fighters is not as good as the little devil on the opposite side, that is, they can barely reach the level of one to one, and the 2,000 brothers guarding the front of Huashan can only resist the attack of a wing of the devil for a day.
Besides, if the devils really plan to break through from the Huashan position here, their backup troops will be more and more.
When the time came, the beach landing on the river was rushed, the planes in the sky bombed indiscriminately, and the devil army in the direction of Changshu on the ground desperately pushed forward the attack.
The Independent Brigade and the 11th Division, totaling more than 7,000 people, will be attacked from three sides, and it is unknown whether they can hold this Huashan position, which is crucial to the defense of Jiangyin.
It doesn't matter if the Independent Brigade is finished, if the 79th Army is finished, it won't be easy.
Zhou Wu discussed with Ding Ning for a while, and felt that in order to hold this Huashan position during the day, it was necessary to increase the troops here, especially the troops in front of the fortifications.
Compared with other second- and third-line positions, Gao Xiangfa is under far greater pressure here than Fat Man, Gao Xiangfa and the 11th Division, because not only do they have to directly face the bombardment of the devil's warships on the river, but also the main bombing targets of the devil's planes are also here.
Ding Ning wanted to say something to Zhou Wu and stopped, and when Zhou Wu saw that Ding Ning was hesitant, he said to him: "Ding Ning, if you have something to say, don't be distracted." ” Ding Ning bit his lower lip, worked hard for a long time, and said: "Brigade seat, I see the current situation in the Huashan position, only by transferring the special service battalion next to the Jiangyin Fort to this side can the pressure here be slightly relieved, otherwise it is impossible to withstand the attack of the devils on the position during the day today, what do you think?"
Ding Ning knew that Zhou Wu had a reason for placing Zhai Daping's 1,000-strong spy battalion on the side of the Jiangyin Fort, and if necessary, he could cover the safety of most of the Independent Brigade, and slowly retreated to the direction of Nanjing with the artillery support of the Jiangyin Fort.
Zhou Wu listened to Ding Ning's suggestion, his face was very ugly, he didn't want to transfer Zhai Daping's spy battalion to strengthen the position defense of Huashan, but now even if Zhai Daping and his thousand-number brothers are put here, I am afraid it will be a drop in the bucket, and it will not solve the dilemma of the shortage of combat soldiers here.
Zhou Wu shook his head and said to Ding Ning: "Ding Ning, it's not that I can't bear Zhai Daping and their thousand-strong brothers, it's just that their troops are too small, even if they are put here in Gao Xiangfa, I'm afraid it won't play a big role, but will increase unnecessary casualties in the positional defense battle." ” "What I mean is to try to delay the devil's attack during the day today, stay up until tonight, and then organize a few more night attack teams to sneak attack and harass the devil's camp and warships, and try to delay the devil's attack during the day tomorrow."
Ding Ning listened to Zhou Wu's analysis and felt that it made sense, after all, it was not yet the moment of serious danger when Jiangyin fell and the entire 79th Army collapsed.
Ding Ning hurriedly called Gao Xiangfa and his officers, and told them that only about 2,000 brothers from the fourth regiment were holding on to the front-line fortifications, and asked the brothers to pay attention to the planes in the sky and the devil warships on the river.
After the bombardment and shelling of the devils stopped, the devils quickly returned to the position when they landed and charged, and there was still a distance of nearly two thousand meters or so from the river beach over there, and the devils should not have charged to a place two or three hundred meters away from the position so quickly after the shelling stopped, so everyone had enough time to check the ammunition and arrange the machine gun position.
Gao Xiangfa and the others all nodded in agreement with Chief of Staff Ding's arrangement, and instructed the brothers to hurry back to the fortified bunker to avoid the shells when the devils bombarded and shelled, so as to reduce unnecessary casualties.
Ding Ning also instructed the anti-aircraft artillery to intercept them before the devil's plane arrived over the Huashan position, not to be afraid of wasting the shells of the anti-aircraft guns, and to go to the Jiangyin Fort to get them if there were no shells.
Regardless of whether the antiaircraft artillery can be hit or not, as long as those bitche-raised devil planes can be afraid of the sky over the Huashan position, as long as they can at least reduce the pressure on the position and lay the foundation for a defensive battle on the position wholeheartedly.
Zhou Wu agreed to Ding Ning's deployment, and immediately ordered his subordinates to hurry up, the time was not early, if it continued like this, when the devil plane really came, it would not be easy to do.
Zhang Ercheng, the battalion commander of the howitzer battalion of the Independent Brigade, was very fascinated by this 37-mm anti-aircraft gun, so now he is the actual commander of this anti-aircraft artillery unit.
He humbly asked the artillerymen from the Jiangyin Fort for advice, and in less than two days, Zhang Ercheng was already basically able to operate and use anti-aircraft guns.
Coupled with his obsession with the study of all kinds of artillery, he was already very confident that he would take down a devil plane in the waiting shelling, so when Zhou Wu's order arrived at the artillery battalion, Zhang Ercheng patted Zhou Wu on the phone and said: "Brigade seat, you see, the devil plane will either not come today, if it comes, I, Zhang Ercheng, will take the anti-aircraft artillery brothers to beat one of its mothers."
Look at what's in the belly of these swaggering brutes. ” Zhou Wu listened to Zhang Ercheng's words and thought it was very funny, but he didn't laugh, but reminded him again and again: "Zhang Ercheng, you must not be careless, the devil plane is very cunning, I also want you to command the anti-aircraft artillery, by the way, you also want your howitzers and mortars to cooperate with the artillery regiment of the military headquarters and their firepower, don't take care of the sky and the ground when the time comes." ” t1706231537:
