Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 1027

Chapter 1027 The general attack begins (Part 2)

Yes, the trenches were dug all the way to an area about a hundred meters away from the Japanese defense line, not for blasting or infantry charges.

All this was learned by Tang Dao from the future Eighty Group Army.

In the three major battles, the Eightyth Army was able to defeat opponents with more troops and better equipment than itself. In addition to fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of the working people at the bottom, the genius invention of the "heartless cannon" was definitely one of the important factors.

This kind of super cannon, which has no accuracy at all and has an outrageous range, is just a pile of garbage in the eyes of any military expert. However, its only feature is that it can throw ten kilograms or more of explosives onto the opponent's position. Like a wildly dancing sledgehammer, in an era without heavy artillery, it could tear apart the opponent's carefully laid out defensive positions.

Whether it is the Chinese or the Japanese, without permanent fortifications, once their opponents set up such artillery a hundred meters away from their own positions, they will be doomed.

As for accuracy, the huge energy of an explosion of ten kilograms of explosives can kill creatures hundreds of meters in radius. Does it matter whether it is accurate or not?

Of the 18 explosive packets thrown from the Third Battalion's position, less than half did not land on the Japanese army's position at all, but fell in the open space between the two armies' positions.

The lethality of explosive packs is different from that of artillery shells. Take the 150-pound artillery shell weighing 18 kilograms. The metal body alone accounts for more than half of the weight. The amount of explosive charge is far less than you think. The metal fragments scatter and cause damage to people. The second most effective method of destroying objects is air waves. In addition to explosives, explosive packs are also explosives. The explosive content of a 10-kilogram pack is several times that of an 18-kilogram artillery shell. The air waves formed by the explosion are naturally much stronger than those of an 18-kilogram artillery shell. Strength is even more obvious without asking.

The remaining Japanese infantry in the open space were taking advantage of the reduced density of Chinese bullets to crawl towards their own positions. This is a good example.

Faced with the arrival of this large explosive pack of 'I am an air wave making machine', they only had time to scream, and were easily blown more than ten meters in the air wave that could sweep everything.

You can imagine a person who was hit by a car and flew more than ten meters. What would be his outcome? So what are these remaining Japanese infantry like?

Even though the open space area is very large, not many Japanese troops could survive the first wave of bombardment by Hongtianlei. Boss Cao's initial worries were completely unnecessary.

Of course, the Thunderbolt has more than one blast. Boss Cao can clearly see the launch point of the Thunderbolt 30 meters away from him, and at least 8 explosive packets are ejected.

That means there is only one shelling point, just like the Japanese army's position throwing out 80 kilograms of explosives. 18, that is more than a thousand kilograms. This is definitely a horrifying number.

On the day when the four regiments arrived, an artillery battalion fired wildly for 6 hours, which almost made its munitions director cry. It only fired 5,000 rounds of artillery shells, and the charge was not much larger than this.

According to post-war statistics, the four regiments that launched the general offensive threw a total of more than 5,000 kilograms of explosives at the Japanese positions they were about to attack in the early morning, and they were all at close range.

Yin Tengyang really didn't know what he had missed. If he knew that if he could break through the first line of defense of the Four Lines Regiment with this preemptive strike, he would be able to destroy the dozens of weapons that the Four Lines Regiment's engineering company dug yesterday. To destroy the "Thunder Thunder" area to prevent his position from encountering such a terrifying incident of flying explosive packets, he would probably rather invest all the infantry on his rear wing, not just more than a thousand people.

Losing and winning are just a matter of millimeters!

However, Yin Teng Youta did not have the courage to die together. The Four Lines Regiment benefited from the tenacity of its infantry on the front line and was able to hold on until the moment when the artillery battalion showed its power.

Otherwise, the final result is really hard to say.

Hundreds of explosive packets were dropped on the Japanese positions amid the fear of Boss Cao and the officers and soldiers of the Sixing Regiment.

No one knows what the Japanese infantrymen in the trenches experienced during such a horrific explosion, because there were no survivors among the Japanese infantrymen at the center of the explosion.

Before the battle started, the commanders of the three infantry battalions of the Four Lines Regiment, which were responsible for attacking the Japanese defense line, gave the commanders of the infantry companies under their command a very simple order: Our army has insufficient military rations and cannot afford to feed anyone except our army!

However, in fact, the officers and soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment charging with rifles and submachine guns did not have many opportunities to show compassion for others.

The terrifying big explosion had actually killed most of the Japanese infantry in the frontline trenches. The few who were still alive were stunned and stunned by the terrifying explosion. They did not dodge when faced with the rushing Chinese soldiers. Still holding a gun, it would be strange if he was not killed by the Chinese soldiers who reacted quickly.

On the battlefield, as long as it is not the color of his military uniform, the soldier's instinctive reaction is to kill him. Only in this way can he ensure his survival.

The so-called human nature must first be realized by people!

This is the battlefield, and everyone is forced to become a beast!

Of course, at the moment when the victory or defeat has been decided on the battlefield, standing on the devastated land, and the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke fills the entire nasal cavity, perhaps the disappeared humanity will return to the body.

Boss Cao, a new recruit, was taught another hard lesson by reality.

　　With the last explosive package being launched.

“Tick tock!” the voice of the charging horn sounded.

"Kill!" A deafening cry of kill erupted from the long 1,800-meter position. It was the full cry of more than 700 infantrymen from the three battalions.

Then, more than 700 figures as agile as cheetahs rushed out of the trenches and strode toward the smoke-filled battlefield a hundred meters away.

“Kill!” Boss Cao, who had just joined the Seventh Company, was also infected. He yelled, grabbing the pole he had used to pick up buns and broth, and rushed over.

That was a jujube wood pole he brought from home. It is said that it was passed down from his great-grandfather's generation. The jujube wood pole that has been used for almost eighty years is still strong. It is probably not difficult to smash someone's head into pieces.

"Old Cao, are you stupid? Fighting is not farm work. What's the matter with you carrying a pole? Use this!" Li Jijin grabbed the corner of the wall he had just dug from the cooking class and directly pushed himself The rifle was thrust into his hands. "However, you have done a good job today. You don't need to participate in the next combat mission. You can just stay with me and be my reserve team."

Li Jijin must not protect this stupid and silly big brother! His bomb-throwing skills were probably among the best in the entire Third Battalion, let alone the Seventh Company. If he could train more carefully, he might be able to shoot within a hundred meters.

But this man is actually a new soldier. On such a battlefield, the casualty rate is much higher than that of veterans.

There are statistics within the 683 Brigade. The ratio of a recruit wanting to become a sergeant-level veteran is only one-third, which means that two-thirds of the recruits either died in battle or had to withdraw from the front line due to injuries and disabilities. force.

The price for a warrior's growth is life and blood! This is cruel, but it is reality.

Li Jijin didn't want the treasure he had just dug to be lost on this battlefield that was destined to win.

“Sir, I don't know how to use this, but I can use that.” Boss Cao felt a little ashamed and returned the rifle to Captain Li Dal, but after looking around, he saw a rifle.

There is still blood on the rifle that has not dried up. It should be left by a wounded or killed soldier.

Looking at the middle-aged man who was holding up the bolt of the rifle to check the bullets but not forgetting to insert the jujube wood pole diagonally behind his back, Li Jijin couldn't help but laugh and patted Boss Cao on the shoulder: "Let's go and kill the Japanese with me." go."

That's really killing the Japanese.

Because the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Company in the charge encountered almost no resistance. The terrifying big explosion not only destroyed the Japanese army's firepower points of all sizes, but even the infantry had not yet woken up from the aftermath of the explosion.

It was not until the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Company jumped into the trench that the Japanese soldiers, who were covered in dust and almost turned into natives, reacted. They rushed over with guns in their hands, screaming, and were shot down mercilessly.

Even if some were fighting hand-to-hand, the Japanese infantry would not be able to get the opportunity to attack like in the past when faced with the strict three-person team of the Seventh Company.

Because, in a three-person team, even if two of them have long guns, one of them must have a submachine gun or a semi-automatic rifle. Sufficient ammunition magazines and the advantage of being able to pull the trigger without pulling the bolt make it impossible for the Japanese army to rush in. A distance that can take advantage of the Type 38 rifle.

Trenches less than one and a half meters wide restricted the use of the Japanese Type 38 rifles. A slight swing of the bayonet would cause friction with the trench walls, which greatly slowed down the efficiency of the use of firearms.

What's even more terrible is that in terms of strength comparison at this time, the remaining Japanese troops on the position are only 200 at most, and only less than one-third of the infantry used by the entire third battalion.

Whether you are stupid, fainted or still have a fierce force, it will all be in vain in the face of the fierce rain of bullets.

The entire battlefield took only ten minutes from the sound of gunfire and howling across the field to the call for health workers to rescue the wounded except for members of the Seventh Company.

A defense line consisting of a thousand-level troops with light and heavy machine guns and infantry artillery, it only took ten minutes from the launch of the attack to the complete capture. If this were told, no one would dare to believe it.

But it's true. However, this is also caused by multiple factors.

What determines victory is both luck and sufficient strength. Both are indispensable.

Obviously, the Japanese army at this time lacked both, especially the God of Destiny. It was more like playing a big joke on them.

The Japanese army's preemptive strike was correct. If they had invested more troops and risked their lives enough, they would have had a chance to capture the first trench of the third battalion, but they did not. They seized the last good opportunity but did not dare to play all their cards, resulting in more than 400 people died outside the trenches in this vain battle.

The remaining 600 people were blown up by thousands of kilograms of explosives from the Third Battalion. Not to mention that the heavy machine gun fortifications on the exposed surface were destroyed, and the infantry lost two-thirds. Only 200 people were left, relying on the 38 rifles in their hands. Type rifle, can it compete with three battalions of infantry equipped with semi-automatic and submachine guns that are three times their number?

A stretcher team that had been following closely behind the seventh company rushed over with roars, and quickly put the groaning soldiers lying in a pool of blood onto the stretchers and carried them away. Following the stretcher team, there were medical companies wearing Red Cross cuffs. nurse.

They are responsible for checking whether the injured are dead or alive. As long as they are still breathing, they will be carried away. The sacrificed ones can only be left in place temporarily, waiting to carry out the remains after all the wounded soldiers have been rescued.

This is not a military regulation of the medical company, but a military order issued directly by the regiment headquarters! The Chinese believe that the dead are the most important, but on the battlefield, soldiers do their best to kill the enemy, and the medical company needs to do its best to rescue the injured soldiers from the scythe of death. All medical resources must be used on the living.

It is almost cruel, but this is the only way to keep more people alive.

Therefore, Boss Cao saw many scenes like this. The young soldier wanted to kneel on the ground and begged the medical company's stretcher to take away his comrades who were covered in blood and had stopped breathing. However, the nurse of the medical company held the receiver and listened. After checking his breathing and pulse, he could only refuse with tears, even if the officers' explosive hands with blue veins on their foreheads were pressed on the **** of their pistols.

"Mala next door, if they don't save it, I'll save it myself! Order each platoon to divide into a class and carry the brother they say is dead to the back so they can find someone to rescue him. Who the **** says it can't be done? I shouldn't do it. This company commander is going to kill him too." Li Jijin slammed his helmet on the trench. "The third and second platoons continue to move forward, the fire support platoon follows up, and the first platoon sweeps the battlefield."

Boss Cao, who received the order to clean the battlefield, did not stay with Li Jiujin anymore. He put down his rifle, picked up his rifle in the trench and picked up the rifles that were still in good condition. Then he tied them up with the rope he found. Just like when I was chopping firewood in the mountains, I picked it up with a pole.

He alone can pick up a dozen rifles, which is extremely efficient.

This has led many soldiers to follow suit, but the 'shoulder poles' they use are rifles. They are straight and hard, but not as tough as jujube wood poles. It hurts when a load of dozens of kilograms is placed on the shoulders. Grinning.

Boss Cao, who picked up a load of rifles and returned to his own position, continued to return to the occupied Japanese position. The rifles and machine guns that could be found had basically been found by the soldiers in the platoon. Boss Cao, who was somewhat unwilling, his eyes lit up.

The bulging thing under the body of a killed Japanese soldier should be hiding something. According to Boss Cao's truest thoughts, what a person hides before death must be the thing he considers most precious.

The task of a platoon cleaning the battlefield is not only to search for all guns, but also to search for property on the corpses of Japanese soldiers.

Digging for property on corpses is actually a taboo for most soldiers from rural areas, but Tang Tuanzuo shattered this taboo with just one sentence, and even the stubborn and naive Boss Cao believed it.

"The Japanese devils used the three-corner policy of killing, robbing, and burning all of China. Didn't their citizens enjoy the popular food and drink on the Japanese islands, and they didn't see their so-called Amaterasu punish them? Why, it's my turn to stop? If our Jade Emperor and Sanqing Buddha are unhappy because of this, then I will bombard their heavenly palace and Buddhism without even caring about their own people. God, no matter how disrespectful!

I not only want to kill the Japanese, but I also want to take back the gold and silver they stole from us, and let them go to see their Amaterasu naked. What a money! Use it to raise our children, let them grow up healthy, and then kill more Japanese, creating a virtuous cycle. "

Tang Tuanzuo sometimes likes to talk about some big principles, but such crude, simple and direct principles still make the soldiers standing in front of him burst into applause.

What's wrong with taking back property that belongs to the Chinese people? If God dares to say anything wrong, then there is no need for such an unreasonable God.

"If you want to settle accounts, go to your **** emperor to settle accounts. Who asked him to let you come to our country to rob things and kill people?"

Although the psychological burden is not very heavy, as a mountain man who grew up under the influence of feudalism for more than 2,000 years, Boss Cao looked at the foreign face that was already covered in blood but still very young, and still subconsciously turned his head. The dead thing made an excuse.

However, just when Boss Cao stretched out his hand, the Japanese soldier's eyes, which were closed, suddenly moved slightly, opened them and looked at him directly.

The hair on Boss Cao's vest suddenly stood up. Is this a fake corpse?

“Here are the things for you, don't kill me!” The young Japanese soldier said softly in Japanese with pleading eyes.

Boss Cao instantly understood that the Japanese soldier was pretending to be dead. Even if he couldn't understand what the Japanese soldier said, he could basically guess that the Japanese soldier wanted to survive.

Looking at the young faces of the Japanese soldiers, Boss Cao somehow thought of the young machine gunner who died in his arms. The moment he closed his eyes, he probably didn't want to die!

According to the previous military orders given by the company commander, the only ones left alive on this battlefield are Chinese soldiers. Boss Cao showed hesitation in his eyes.

“Bang bang bang!” There were three consecutive gunshots. Due to the kinetic energy of the bullets, the Japanese soldier's body shook continuously, and several blood stains appeared on his chest.

Possibly because of the pain, the Japanese soldier's eyes, which were full of pleading before, suddenly turned ferocious and ferocious, staring at Boss Cao who was still a little at a loss.

Boss Cao suddenly turned around and looked at the young corporal who was shooting five meters away, feeling an indescribable anger in his heart.

Perhaps it was because a living life disappeared right before his eyes, even if it was a Japs.

Or maybe it was the begging from a young life, but the ruthless gunfire shattered it?

Boss Cao himself couldn't explain the feelings that surged up at that moment, but there was no doubt that he was very dissatisfied at that time.

“Uncle, do you know why the battalion commander gave this order?” The young corporal was not surprised at all by Boss Cao's reaction.

He walked forward slowly and said, "You will know what is hidden under his body if you open his body."

“What else could it be?” Boss Cao asked almost angrily, but couldn't say a word.

What was pressed under the dead Japanese soldier was not any belongings, but his left arm, and in his left hand, he was holding a 38-meter bayonet tightly.

If Boss Cao had really listened to this Japanese infantryman and went to get some property and was caught off guard, this bayonet should have been inserted into his belly by now.

"The devils have some kind of **** warrior spirit. They would rather die than be captured. They are already crazy, so let's just send them to meet the devil." The young corporal pointed to the distance. "There are brothers in our camp who are lying in the Martyrs Cemetery because of uncle's thoughts. Tell me, if you see someone like this, should you send them to die, or should we go see the Lord of Hell?"

“What a bastard!” Boss Cao used all his strength to pull out the 38th Army thorn from the Japanese corpse, but he cursed fiercely.

I don't know if I'm scolding this Japanese infantryman who had to hold him on his back even before he died, or I'm scolding myself for having a hole in my head. How could I be so soft-hearted towards the Japanese? Or scold this ghost world for turning people into beasts.

But Boss Cao undoubtedly learned a lot from this battle, including his heart, which also hardened little by little.

This is also a necessary process for the gradual transformation of new soldiers into veterans. Kindness and softness can only be given to one's own comrades, but only coldness can be given to the enemy!

Boss Cao, a new recruit, is very lucky. I don't know how many new recruits have no chance to learn and gradually grow into veterans in this battle.

According to statistics after the war, 179 officers and soldiers of the three infantry battalions were killed in the early morning general offensive initiated by the Japanese and eventually initiated by the Chinese. Half of them died in the Japanese artillery fire and active attacks.

The proportion of sacrifices accounted for by recruits was as high as three-quarters.

But their blood was not shed in vain. On three battlefields, the three major infantry battalions all broke through the Japanese defense lines. The rear wing defense area of the 2nd Mixed Brigade had completely disappeared.

The number of dead Japanese invaders whose corpses could be counted was as high as 3,100!

Yin Teng Youta, the rear wing commander, was almost turned into a bare commander.

"The rear wing defense line has completely collapsed!" Yamashita, who received a message from his brigade chief of staff before retreating, fell down on the wooden chair at the temporary brigade headquarters in despair.

The defeat is decided!

But what is even more frightening is not that the battle has been completely defeated, but the tactics currently used by China.
