Zhanggufeng is a small peak on the border between China and Russia, with an altitude of 155.1 meters. It is located in the southeast of Hunchun City, Jilin Province, on the left bank of the Tumen River. It is the boundary monument between China, North Korea and Russia.
Less than 5 kilometers northwest of the word).
When the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia signed the Aihui Treaty, this place belonged to China's territory. However, the Russians played a trick and secretly changed the Russian text of the treaty and brought this place under their control. North of Zhanggufeng
There is another small peak at 2 kilometers, called Shacao Peak, with an altitude of 77.1 meters. To the east of Zhanggu Peak is the long north-south Hassan Lake, to the west is the small plain by the Tumen River, and is 1.5 meters away from Fangchuan Village in the south.
km.
Although this is an inconspicuous small place, it is of great importance. Zhanggufeng is the barrier of Vladivostok, and it also guards the mouth of the Tumen River. It is a nail for China in the Sea of Japan, and its strategic value is amazing.
Originally this was a game between China, Russia and Japan, but since the establishment of the Far East Empire, Russia's position in the Far East has been replaced by Fengjun. Vladivostok has been leased by Fengjun, Zhang Gufeng has also returned to the embrace of China, and Fengjun built it here.
We walked into the fortress and pulled up the barbed wire fence.
The Japanese also knew the value of this place, so they coveted it. In the name of Koreans going to Zhanggufeng to worship their ancestors, they asked spies to dress up as Koreans and come here from time to time to spy on intelligence. The two sides often clashed.
At this time, the tension between China and Japan was tense. Han Shuo once again discovered the mysterious Koreans. Of course, they would not let them go. They killed both of them.
Several pieces of paper were found in their pockets, and the terrain near Zhanggu Peak was drawn on them. There is no doubt that these two guys were Japanese spies.
The sound of gunfire broke the silence, and the Japanese on the opposite side were also alerted. A small group of Japanese soldiers rushed towards Zhang Gufeng quickly. Han Shuo and the others were at a disadvantage in numbers, so they could only retreat to Zhang Gufeng's position while exchanging fire with the Japanese.
, while reporting the situation to superiors.
Fire!
This news was like a bombshell. It fell on everyone's heads. It was Qin Wei who was in charge of the Tumen River defense line. He had just got off the plane and received a report from the front line. After seeing the report,
Qin Wei was also shocked.
During the battle deployment, only Zhang Tinglan noticed the Tumen front line and predicted that there might be a conflict. The result turned out to be just as Zhang Tinglan predicted. The first land shot with the Japanese did not occur in Fengtian, nor did it occur in Liaoning.
South, it happened to be in the small Zhanggufeng.
At this time, Qin Wei had to admire Zhang Tinglan's monster-like foresight. How could this still be human thinking?
In fact, Qin Wei didn't know. The reason why Zhang Tinglan paid attention to this place was because of the Zhang Gufeng incident in history, which made Zhang Tinglan think a little more than others.
But Qin Wei didn't know this, and his superstition towards Zhang Tinglan entered a new level.
"Send a battalion up immediately and hold Zhanggufeng firmly for me. The troops along the line will be ready for battle to deal with Japanese attacks at any time."
After the order was conveyed, the army moved very quickly. The soldiers on leave returned to the military camp. Weapons were distributed, shortages were filled, and food and military supplies were continuously shipped. The soldiers mobilized for battle, built fortifications, and built temporary airports.
Militiamen from all over the country mobilized to transport supplies and repair bridges and roads. After the baptism of war, Fengjun's mobilization system showed unprecedented efficiency.
At this time, the battle in Zhang Gufeng was at its most intense. The number of Japanese attacking troops had increased to a large group. They forced across the Tumen River and used artillery cover to launch a fierce assault on Zhang Gufeng.
The sound of gunfire became a mass, and clouds of black smoke rose from the small high ground. Han Shuo had been stationed at Zhanggufeng for two consecutive days. He was the only one of the first squad of soldiers who was still holding on. The others
Either he died, or he was injured and sent to the rear for rescue.
The Japanese rushed up from below again, and the three rigorous and rigid skirmisher lines surged up the mountain like waves.
"Quick, bullet!"
The machine gunner shouted in a hoarse voice, "dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah," the Maxim heavy machine gun made a rapid sound, and the Japanese were mowed down one by one.
Han Shuo aimed his gun at the sergeant who was at the forefront, and bang! A bullet accurately penetrated his head, and there was another dead body on the hillside.
The fighting between the two sides has become more and more intense, but this can only be regarded as a microcosm of the entire front. Since the firefight broke out in Zhang Gufeng, the Japanese also know that there is only one choice at this time, and that is to fight!
At this time, the commander of the Kwantung Army was Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshinori. This guy also committed many crimes. In the original history, when he was the Minister of War, he bombed Zhang Zuolin to death. Later, he led the army to provoke one or two
During the Eighth Incident, they attacked Shanghai, and their hands were stained with blood.
However, he did not end well. In 1932, under the orders of Wang Yaqiao, the Korean Yi Bongji bombed and killed Shirakawa Yoshinori at the celebration, eradicating this executioner for innocent people.
At the moment, Shirakawa Yoshinori is still very high-spirited. He has two complete divisions in his hands, namely the 11th Division and the 6th Division. Both of these divisions are one of Japan's permanent divisions, especially
It is the Sixth Division and a powerful force in the Japanese army.
During the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, the Sixth Division set foot on Chinese soil twice. They were extremely familiar with the Northeast and were Shirakawa Yoshinori's trump card.
Ever since the Kongo and Kirishima were sunk, Shirakawa Yoshinori knew that a war was inevitable. He personally took action and formulated a battle plan. Exactly what Feng Jun guessed, he dispatched the Sixth Division as the main force, along the
They followed the South Manchuria Railway and launched an attack, aiming directly at Haicheng.
In addition, he dispatched the 11th Cavalry Regiment of the 11th Division to attack along the coastline, with the ultimate goal being Dandong. After capturing this place, he could open the way for the 19th Division stationed in North Korea, and the Kwantung Army and
The North Korean garrison can connect the city to one another.
After the battle plan was made, there was no news of a declaration of war in the country, which made Shirakawa Yoshinori very puzzled. The bureaucrats in the country were simply made of tofu. How could they not have the courage to face the Chinese!
He was not willing to wait like this. All the troops entered a state of first-line combat readiness. Baichuan also searched for trains and carriages. While he was actively preparing, Japan finally issued an order to attack, requiring the Kwantung Army to launch according to the plan.
offensive.
Although there was no declaration of war, with the battle order, Shirakawa was already very excited. He took the hand of the commander of the Sixth Division, Koike Yasuyuki, and said proudly: "Koike-kun, the Sixth Division is so famous that it leveled China."
People can occupy Manchuria in a matter of seconds."
Koike also smiled arrogantly and said: "The Japanese Kwantung Army pointed out that the Chinese are no match at all. Within five days, the warriors of the empire will become the new masters of Fengtian."
After the Sixth Division left Dalian, it was a smooth journey. Finally they came to Gaizhou, where they finally met a strong enemy. The First Division of the Border Guard Army was ordered to garrison Gaizhou. The two ace armies were facing Maimang.
The battle first started in the artillery room. The Japanese Sixth Division, which took the lead in attacking, concentrated 48 75mm field guns, 4 Meiji 38-type 120 heavy guns and 6 38-type 150 heavy guns that had just been shipped from China. This was also the maximum extent of the Japanese attack.
firepower. They bombarded the Fengjun positions on the north bank of the Daqing River indiscriminately. Of course, Fengjun did not show weakness. As Fengjun's trump card, the First Division had the configuration of a heavy artillery battalion, with twelve 152 heavy artillery pieces, and launched a war against the Japanese.
Fight back violently.
Although the Fengjun army did not have an advantage in terms of the number of artillery pieces, it greatly surpassed the Japanese in terms of performance. During the bombardment, the Japanese artillery positions burst into flames from time to time, and the artillery pieces were blown to pieces by the Fengjun army.
Evaporates instantly.
However, in this artillery battle, the Japanese still had a trump card. Two old-fashioned armored cruisers and several destroyers also used their naval guns to rain down shells. The 254mm shells on the two battleships were so powerful that they would explode every time they fell.
A huge crater appeared. In just a few minutes, the position on the offshore side of the Daqing River was blown to pieces.
For the soldiers of the First Division, dealing with naval guns is still a problem. They can only hope that the air force or underwater submarines can send these damn warships to the bottom of the sea. But before they are finished, the soldiers can only
Passively weakens the damage of naval guns.
Zhang Henian personally arranged the defense line, and the first officer reduced the number of fixed positions on the offshore side, using multiple layers and depths to spread the enemy's firepower density as much as possible. When digging trenches, the thickness of the jagged protrusions was increased, so that even if there were a few artillery shells
If you fall into a trench, the shock wave will be blocked by the trench, and there will be no tragedy of a single shell killing hundreds of people.
On a real battlefield, all trenches are curved, not straight lines in some hasty movies and TV dramas. Once the position is straightened and a shell falls, no one knows how many people will die. Only the zigzag shape can
Reduce the lethality of artillery shells.
In addition, although Fengjun's bombers were transferred to the Yalu River line, there were still many reconnaissance aircraft in Gaizhou, which were constantly patrolling, so the Japanese Navy was unable to raise observation balloons. Most of the artillery shells hit the uninhabited open space. In addition to listening to
Noise, no lethality.
The bombardment lasted for more than an hour before the Japanese navy began to turn its guns and aim at Gaizhou City. Facing the city, the naval guns fully exerted their power. Whether it was 254 mm, 120 mm, or even 76 mm, if it fell, it would inevitably cause
Nearby buildings collapsed, especially the main guns. When one shell hit, several or more than a dozen houses were often razed to the ground.
Many people who had not had time to retreat were all affected. The shells shattered their homes, and the huge tongues of fire devoured everything. Fortunately, Fengjun made preparations in advance and moved all major institutions, schools, factories, and enterprises.
When they came out, the bombardment only killed and injured some civilians and did not cause any greater losses.
The small Gaizhou City could not withstand much bombardment. Soon the whole city was shrouded in black smoke, and the fire was rolling, swallowing everything. However, naval guns are not army guns after all. Not to mention the limited number of shells, every time they are fired,
It would wear out the gun barrels, and the Japanese navy, which was originally short on military expenditures, destroyed most of the targets visible in Gaizhou City, and then left a few destroyers to cover it and voluntarily evacuated the main force.
In fact, there was also a factor of fearing the Fengjun submarine, because the sky had darkened, and it was not known whether there was a Fengjun submarine hiding in the turbid water, so they left in a hurry after completing the support mission.
Although the Japanese army had an absolute advantage in naval artillery, Fengjun was more proactive in army artillery. As the battle progressed, Fengjun deployed eight more 122mm cannons and two more 240mm cannons.
With the addition of these new forces, Fengjun has gradually gained advantages in artillery battles. When Zhang Tinglan was building the army, he fully adhered to the concept of artillery first. Especially after being able to produce artillery on his own, Fengjun exploded the artillery force.
The intensity is sparing no effort.
The artillery is arranged in echelons according to different ranges and calibers, which can greatly increase the killing effect. Compared with the Japanese method of lining up all the artillery in a line, the Fengjun army is undoubtedly much smarter.
In the bunker, Koike Yasuyuki paid attention to the situation on the front line. He also saw that the artillery was working very hard, but he did not care. Japan's artillery had long needed to be strengthened. However, since the funds were invested in the navy, the army
We can only live with the nine equipments of the Russo-Japanese War.
But this time is an opportunity. He wants the Japanese government to understand that the war still depends on the army. Koike said to the people around him: "Give the 47th Regiment an order to attack the Chinese positions from the left wing!" (
