Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 1003

From a biological perspective, humans can go without food for three days, but they cannot go without water for three days.

The Chinese mountain people in the core area of the 921st Division can take away all the food in their homes so that the Japanese troops who are alone in the depths cannot resupply, but they must not take away the water source. Even some villages are really ruthless and will pass on the inheritance with big stones. Ancient wells that were hundreds of years old have been filled in.

But they can't handle the living water in the mountains! This actually solved a small problem for the Japanese commanders. The well water was easily poisoned, and at most it was more difficult to get water.

The drinking water for both humans and animals was basically taken from mountain streams, and the Japanese army had strict requirements for drinking water. Raw water must be boiled for drinking to prevent bacterial infection and diseases such as dysentery that would affect combat effectiveness.

Lieutenant General Xia Xiong Yuan, who was still in command in Licheng, had great expectations for this battle. He specially held a meeting of officers above the captain of the division's infantry battalion in Licheng to encourage everyone and at the same time strictly enforce military discipline. The main idea was: Normally, when everyone wants to put some money into their own pockets, I can turn a blind eye, as long as everyone doesn't embarrass me, the division commander, but if this battle doesn't go well, I, the division commander, I'm afraid if I have to move my position, I will have to move my position. How can I care about your life and death? Not only can't I control it, I'm in a bad mood, so why don't I get a few heads to sacrifice the flags?

The commander of the dignified division said that he wanted to sacrifice human heads to the flag. The colonels did not panic, but a group of majors and captains panicked. The army lieutenant general's saber could not chop off the heads of the majors and major generals, nor could it kill a junior major. Well!

Moreover, Xiong Yuan is over 50. If he is removed from the position of division commander, his military career will be over. Then he must not go crazy!

Therefore, the 108th Division is extremely cautious from top to bottom this time. The commanders, large and small, all hold the mentality of 'even if they have no military exploits, they can't make mistakes'. Anyway, they must not be ranked at the bottom. one.

Even though there is not a single human hair to be seen for dozens of miles around, the cautious 108th Division has never let down its vigilance. Even if it burns an empty village, an entire infantry brigade will be dispatched in full force. .

Thousands of people were just lighting fires and having fun!

This is why I was afraid of being beaten in the battle of Shentou Ridge.

However, if you stand from the perspective of the commanders of the 108th Division, then you are not afraid! When the Chinese attacked the county town, you thought they were encircling a few points for reinforcements, but you didn't know that they were surrounding a few points and then breaking them. After reinforcements were sent, they sent for reinforcements again. Four infantry brigades were taken in at one go. That was still on the territory controlled by their 108th Division. .

Now, we are on the territory that the 80th Group Army has been occupying for half a year. Moreover, the 80th Group Army is an elite force that has been fighting the million-strong army led by the current Chinese commander for more than ten years. What's more terrible is that it is a group army. ah! Just hearing this organization makes people hairy. How many troops are needed?

This can only be said that the ad hoc division of the 108th Division is called the second-line division by the standing divisions for a reason. Whether it is equipment or personnel quality, it cannot be compared with the 17 standing divisions.

I was tired from implementing the "Three Lights" policy during the day, and I was not idle at night. The squad-level patrol team could almost surround the camping site, and the average soldier slept no more than 6 hours at night.

Although the weather in May has begun to get hotter, it is uncomfortable to sleep on the cold ground at night with at most a thin blanket. Coupled with the stress and lack of sleep time, it is so uncomfortable. Just don't mention it.

Therefore, despite the fact that the 108th Division lost less than a hundred people from the time it sent troops to the time it entered the enemy camp alone, its spirit was always tense and it did not relax even in its "burning fire" mentality. It was not at all tired. It is no worse than the Japanese troops such as the 16th Division and the Second Mixed Brigade that are fighting fiercely.

As the saying goes, "You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days." On the fifth day after entering the battlefield, wouldn't something happen?

First, the pack horses attached to the Japanese infantry brigade, artillery, and baggage troops began to have diarrhea like crazy. The diarrhea was extremely smelly and damaging to the environment. The key is that it can make the strong horses' legs and feet so weak that they can't even stand. Can't get up.

The pack horse is the most important helper in the Japanese infantry. Whether it is heavy equipment such as artillery or military supplies such as food, ammunition, and medicine, the pack horse must be relied on, especially the 108th Division, which basically has nothing to do with mechanization. The second-line divisions were equipped with an even more staggering number of packhorses, as many as thousands.

At this time, the main force of the 108th Division was fully mobilized. Not only the four main infantry regiments, but also the cavalry, engineers, artillery, and baggage troops were all following the main force of the infantry. Suddenly, thousands of horses began to collectively lose weight. This camp The smell inside is really unbearable.

Smell is different from other things. It contains odor factors. This thing will stick to people. Just like if you stay in the toilet for a long time, your olfactory cells will almost adapt. But When others smell the smell of feces on your body, they can basically tell where you have been for a long time.

In countless brainless TV series, the evidence that a wife can discover her man's cheating is the smell of perfume remaining on his suit. This may be the most logical plot in the TV series.

However, in order to prevent the pack horses and grooms from being attacked by the Chinese, the Japanese commanders did not dare to drive these manure-making machines out of the field camp surrounded by barbed wire and trenches. They could only watch the pack horses desperately making fertilizer. .

Good guy!

Even in the open mountains and wilderness, the Japanese army had the illusion that they were living on a horse dung pile.

The body and spirit are already extremely exhausted, and if you have to eat with the smell of horse manure that is so appetizing, you have to wonder if you still have an appetite!

Even the Japanese major general who was the brigade commander was still hiding in his own field tent. He couldn't swallow the seaweed rice **** that were supposed to be delicious, let alone the canned beef.

It's just that color with a hint of soupy water, and it looks like something pulled out by a packhorse.

'idiot! vomit! ' Before the Japanese Army Major General had time to digest the rice **** he stuffed into his food, he was vomited out by the ubiquitous stench.

With less food, people lose strength. Visibly, the Japanese officers and soldiers of the 108th Division looked very haggard when they went to play the regular "burning fire" game.

But this is not the worst thing that has happened to the more than 20,000 people of the 108th Division. The packhorses are a little smelly at best. Anyway, they don't need to march long distances yet, and they don't have to use manpower to carry the heavy equipment.

On the sixth day, when Yamashita sent electricity to the 108th Division, he hoped that after they had finished destroying the Chinese houses in the existing area, they would immediately move towards the area where the Second Mixed Brigade was located, and create a perfect left-right flank attack to divert the troops. Up to 30,000 Chinese troops are buried in this mountainous area.

Yamashita said that although the two Chinese armies in front of him did not know their specific organization, they were equipped with dozens of small-caliber artillery. They were definitely China's most elite troops in the north. They were most likely the Central Army. If Being able to annihilate them must be a great achievement.

This is also a certain misunderstanding of Yamashita, a Japanese general who has been staying in Pingbeicheng and has not participated in the battle in Shanxi Province. Since the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese army in the southeast has been head-to-head with the elite of the central military department, and the battle losses have been considerable. .

These battle reports led Japanese generals like Yamashita, who had never fought on the front lines of Shanxi Province, to take it for granted that the central military system was the elite.

In fact, the Japanese commanders of the 108th, 109th and even the 5th Division no longer view it that way. The troops of China's Central Military Department are well equipped, but their combat effectiveness is not necessarily the strongest. On the contrary, those troops who were originally regarded as miscellaneous The 80th Group Army, the Northwest Army, the Sichuan Army, including the Shanxi-Sui Army, either had artillery or had a fearless spirit, which left a deep impression on them.

Otherwise, the 108th Division would not have been scared like a monkey after going deep into the Eightyth Army's garrison alone. At night, almost every soldier would take turns patrolling every four hours. The density of patrols was the highest in the history of the Japanese Army.

The 108th Division also wanted to achieve military success, but their strength did not allow it! Not to mention that the nearly 6,000 packhorses in the entire division had turned into soft-footed shrimps, on this morning, the people actually started to have diarrhea as well.

And there are quite a lot of people. The total number of the two main forces, which are less than 8,000 meters apart, is as high as more than 1,000. Even though the number only accounts for one-twentieth of the total force, this is a danger signal.

"The entire army is no longer allowed to easily drink mountain stream water! If you have to drink it, you must filter, precipitate, and boil the water for half an hour!" Major General Nakano Kozo, the brigade commander of the 25th Infantry Brigade, who was the frontline commander of the 108th Division at the time, wisely issued the order Military orders.

It can be said that the packhorses ate unclean grass from the mountains, but with so many people having stomachaches at the same time, what else could it be other than a problem with the water source?

Although the Japanese commander couldn't figure out how the Chinese managed to poison the running water, this was the only possibility.

Not to mention, this Japanese army major general has a very vivid mind, and he is almost close to the truth.

The 104th Division and the 17th Division are fighting hard in the mountains. How can the Si Xing Regiment, a new force, be idle? In addition to leaving a large vehicle company of the baggage battalion and a platoon of the guard company at the station of the Fourth Line Regiment, nearly all the special agent battalion, artillery battalion, cavalry battalion, and three infantry battalions were mobilized.

The main force was led by a three-person team of Lei Xiong, Ye Chenghuan, and Gong Shaoxun. Tang Dao himself led the reconnaissance company and the main force of the regiment in the opposite direction, lurking in the directions of Yushe, Wuxiang, etc.

Of course, a small reconnaissance company cannot pose any threat to the behemoth of the 108th Division, even if they all have three heads and six arms.

But they will destroy it!

And what they carried in the big backpacks on their backs this time was a strange medicine that Tang Tuanzuo accidentally discovered.

That's because the bay-red horse that Lu Sanjiang sat on was sick. Everyone knew that Lu Sanjiang cherished the horse that he sat on. It was comparable to a comrade-in-arms, no, even surpassed a comrade-in-arms.

After all, there were quarrels and jokes among his comrades, but he didn't do that to the maroon Mongolian horse. He would always offer the best horse feed such as grass, beans, and corn with a smile. , he himself didn't like bathing, but he was very diligent in bathing the horses. He raised the bay-red horses to be smooth, fat, and strong. The horses were also very impressive. The speed of sprinting 200 meters was almost as fast as that of the Japanese army. Captured Oriental horses.

But 20 days ago, the horse suddenly fell ill. The veterinarian determined that it was because the horse ate too much food, which caused food accumulation. To put it bluntly, the horse couldn't **** out, which is similar to human constipation.

This made Lu Sanjiang so anxious that he wandered around the sick horse all day without thinking about food or tea, but this cannot be used as medicine! The horse's spirit was getting worse day by day. When Tang Dao, who returned, heard about this, he immediately ordered personnel from the supply camp to send people to the surrounding villages to find out if there were any reliable old veterinarians.

Lu Sanjiang is not only his beloved general of Tang Dao, but the war horse that carries his beloved general through life and death is also a hero. It is the silent comrade of the cavalry. Tang Dao will not give up any of his comrades, including war horses and hammers.

The hard work paid off, and they actually asked the transport camp to find an old veterinarian. When he heard about the symptoms, no one came, so he got up and went to the low bushes in the ravine to pull a few dry fruits. The soldiers crushed it and mixed it with water for the horses to drink.

In less than an hour, it will be solved.

Lu Sanjiang was also an honest man. When he saw that the war horse was cured, he personally brought a few cans and cigarettes that he had saved to thank the old veterinarian. He also learned about the functions of this wild fruit from the old veterinarian.

When the fruit of this shrub matures in autumn, it emits a strange smell. Cattle and sheep will not eat it. After a winter and spring, it will become shriveled at the turn of spring and summer. At this time, it will no longer have any smell, but it will become a fruit. It is a good medicine, used for cold accumulation and laxative, and is suitable for both humans and animals.

It sounds similar to the croton in the Chinese medicine shop, but this thing is slightly different from the croton, that is, the effect is much more overbearing than that, just like a war horse with such a huge size, and the serious condition, the croton cannot be cured, but only a trivial use A few fruits of this kind can solve the problem. If you add a little more, it is likely to cause diarrhea. No matter how large the amount is, diarrhea alone can dehydrate humans and animals and even kill them.

Therefore, even if the people in the mountains know that it has medicinal effects, they dare not eat it at will. That is why old veterinarians who rely on it for a long time can judge the dosage based on the height and weight of humans and animals. Otherwise, it will not be a rescue but a harm. .

Are you so awesome? Tang Dao became interested as soon as he heard this, and immediately went to personally invite the old veterinarian to come to the regiment headquarters, and began to conduct live experiments based on the dosage he provided.

It can only be said that Tang Tuanzuo is a ruthless person. For so-called living experiments, he used the big green horse he usually rides, even the **** sheep like Xiao Shitou, and even the hammer and himself were not spared. .

Hammer can't speak. If he knew that the large piece of bacon he accidentally ate that day was mixed with twice the dose of 'poisonous powder', it was Tang Tuanzuo's idea. He would have blocked the door of a certain Tuanzuo and cursed him all day and night.

Good guy, in those days, horses had diarrhea, ewes had diarrhea, and dogs had diarrhea. A certain regiment guarded the door of the toilet almost all day long, using Li Jijin's original words: "Look at the regiment leader's kabai kabai." With his small face, sunken eye sockets, and almost dull eyes, I was confused. Could it be that the regimental commander did something that he should not do last night? Fortunately, my wife is an ugly woman! , you can go to sleep after completing the task.”

It is said that because of veteran Youzi's stupid words, the handsome old man from Tantai, who had already achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel, went to Li Jiujin's company more than 20 times in one afternoon. The officers and soldiers of the 7th company and veteran Youzi all saluted. Arms sore.

“This medicine is amazing!” Tang Tuanzuo, who had been struggling for a week, came to this conclusion based on his own personal experience.

General medicines have a smell, but this nameless fruit is really tasteless. Otherwise, do you think Hammer's dog nose, which has a far better sense of smell than ordinary dogs, is just a decoration? Moreover, the effect is extremely good. As long as the amount is enough, it will make you pull at the third watch, but will never let you hold it until the fifth watch. No matter how strong the sphincter is, it cannot restrain the crazy peristalsis from the intestines.

In addition to guns, bullets and other necessary supplies, each of the 200 soldiers in the reconnaissance company carried at least 40 kilograms of this fruit powder on their backs.

Most of it was scattered on the rich green grass along the path that the Japanese army must pass, and the smaller half was scattered on the upper reaches of the mountain streams when the special forces lurking in the mountains and forests communicated in a unique way while waiting for the Japanese army to fetch water.

On the first day, the Japanese army did not have large-scale diarrhea like the pack horses. Apparently, it was because the stream was flowing and the amount of medicine was not enough. However, as they continued to collect water, the quantitative change finally caused a qualitative change, and thousands of people began their own journey of diarrhea.

Think about it, even a strong man like Tang Dao is almost out of shape, let alone the "short and powerful" Japanese.

Furthermore, Nakano Xiaosan's military order was issued a little later. At noon, one thousand more people started to arrive one after another.

No matter how particular the Japanese army is, they will not build a toilet in the field camp. They will basically solve the problem outside the camp.

After all, human beings are not like beasts like pack horses, and they have a little bit of shame. Even if they **** unnecessarily, it is not something that ordinary people can do if you let them expose two big pieces of fat and loosen it in front of everyone.

Basically, they will leave the camp to catch daddy.

As a result, the sporadic gunshots rang out in the surrounding mountains and forests made these Japanese soldiers directly understand what nonsense meant.

There were not many Japanese soldiers who were actually killed by cold guns, but the Japanese soldiers who crawled back basically came back wrapped in their own excrement, almost without exception.

The Japanese army used grenades, mountain artillery, and infantry artillery to bombard them wildly. They also sent out infantry to search, but the Chinese who were 500 meters away had no idea where they had gone.

It was not because of the distance. Perhaps the number of people killed by cold shooting was not seven or eight, but seventy or eighty.

The casualties were not heavy, but the psychological deterrent was too great. More than 2,000 people with diarrhea began to defecate in the camp, plus those who were carrying horses.

This time it's amazing, it used to be like a dunghill, but now it's a real dunghill.

Just like that, a gust of mountain wind blew, and the Tang Dao hidden in the bushes 700 meters away felt fuzzy.

PS: Some book friends said that they wanted to use the real name of the Japanese military officer. Book friends who have read Feng Yue's book will know that Feng Yue used his real name before, but was later warned by the review, so he had to change it.
