Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 1029

Chapter 1029 The idol was shot!

Finally, Yamashita played his first card.

However, after China took the lead in playing the first card, he was forced to follow up.

But the first card was not played by the Four Lines Group, but by Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang from the 772nd Group.

When they learned that the Fourth Army Regiment had completely broken through the rear flank of the Japanese army and nearly wiped out all the Japanese troops on the defensive line, several officers of the 683 brigade breathed a sigh of relief. They all knew that the battle was considered won.

The problem now is just how to eat the last three or four thousand Japanese at the minimum cost.

The current tactic of the Fourth Army is to press forward step by step and continuously compress the Japanese army's living space. Although this tactic is good and has been approved by Brigadier Cheng, in Wang Xiaoqiang's view, it still takes too long.

A cooked duck is likely to fly away, let alone a half-cooked duck like this.

So Wang Xiaoqiang personally led two infantry companies and three mortar squads to make a large circle from the right wing, cross the Zhuozhang River and enter the mountainous area.

At this time, when the Japanese army has shrunk its defense line and started desperately building fortifications, Wang Xiaoqiang did not believe that the Japanese army still had the confidence and spare capacity to deploy reconnaissance troops around the battlefield. At this time, the Japanese most commonly used the front to attract the main force and bypass the two wings to find the opponent's weak points. The tactics are the most suitable.

Two infantry companies plus three mortars also ensured that the partial division he personally led had a certain attack power.

It is a pity that the mountains here are so steep. If you want to sneak around from the mountains to the side of the Japanese, just climbing the mountains will tire you to death.

Wang Xiaoqiang, who was extremely unwilling, stood on a mountain peak with a telescope and looked down in the direction of Changle Village. The half-burned village was 1,200 meters away from where Wang Xiaoqiang was.

Originally, neither from the left wing where the 771st Regiment was located nor from the Zhuozhang River defense line where the 772nd Regiment was located, it was impossible to spy on this large village.

But looking at it from Wang Xiaoqiang's angle, he could just see a corner of it.

Then, Wang Xiaoqiang saw Japanese soldiers constantly coming in and out of a small courtyard, and there were still several Japanese soldiers standing outside the courtyard.

Although the distance was too far, Wang Xiaoqiang could not clearly see the shape of the Japanese army, but his soldier's instinct made him feel that it must be a very important position of the Japanese army, and it might even be the Japanese army's headquarters.

In fact, when he arrived at Changle Village first, Wang Xiaoqiang instinctively preserved the half-destroyed Changle Village, thinking of leaving it to the Japanese army as a headquarters, so that when the war was over, it would be the closest place to here. He can definitely target the Chinese troops.

Of course, this is what Wang Xiaoqiang said when summarizing the final battle. As for whether he really expected the enemy to be ahead, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that he fired the first shot of the attack on the 2nd Mixed Brigade. To be more precise, it was the first shot, the first shot that went straight to Huanglong.

“Old Mudun, let's see if you have the confidence to **** these guys.” Wang Xiaoqiang handed the binoculars to the mortar platoon leader who was called over.

He was a second lieutenant who was no more than 30 years old. The reason why Wang Xiaoqiang called him Lao Mudun was simply that this veteran's military service and age were much older than Wang Xiaoqiang's. The reason why he was still only a second lieutenant was because of this veteran. The artillery lieutenant originally named Mu served in the Yunnan Army for eight years until he was captured by Wang Xiaoqiang, who was still just the battalion commander, and his cannon during a battle.

Artillery is a high-tech branch in this era, and its extreme scarcity saved Lao Mudun's life, and also gave Wang Xiaoqiang a good artillery platoon leader under his command.

And this artillery platoon leader will also completely change the trend of this battlefield.

"Captain, if you can fight, you can fight, but there are not a few Japanese troops active in this village. Look at those houses, there are Japanese troops coming in and out, and they seem to be moving things. If it is an ammunition depot, it will be great. "The artillery lieutenant held the telescope for a long time and hesitated to express his opinion.

“Old Mudun! Otherwise, you would have been defeated by me!” Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but grinned happily after hearing his subordinate's suggestion. "Here, let me ask you, if you were the Japs commander, would you put the ammunition depot together with your own headquarters?"

"I don't know how to do that. Let alone the ammunition depot, I usually sleep far away from the artillery carts in the platoon." The artillery second lieutenant shook his head like a rattle.

Having been an artilleryman for a long time, he had seen artillery shells explode with his own eyes. That was when he was in the Yunnan Army. A cannonball hit the artillery position's artillery shell storage point. Fifty artillery shells were detonated, and the place shook.

Even if there was a bunker several hundred meters away, the artillery lieutenant who had witnessed the tragedy was so scared that he peed his pants. Centered on the detonated shell storage area, within a radius of 200 meters, all humans and animals were wiped out. Many people and pack horses were not actually hit by shrapnel. Killed by air waves, but shocked to death.

The psychological shadow of this tragedy on the artillery second lieutenant still exists to this day. When the artillery platoon goes into battle, the artillery shell storage point is always a hundred meters away. After every battle, the ammunition hand becomes the hardest working soldier in the artillery platoon.

But according to the artillery lieutenant surnamed Mu, it is better to be half dead from exhaustion than to be blown up to nothing.

Even though he belonged to the Yunnan Army before, he had been a member of the Eightyth Army for four or five years, and he was also a very good gunner. Therefore, no one said much about this kind of cautious behavior that was almost a coward.

"That's it. The Japanese soldiers are bad, but they are not stupid. The village is such an obvious target. Just find a room in it and use it as a temporary headquarters. The ammunition depot will never be placed here. What you said to me Just fire at the location, I guarantee there will be at least a junior officer there." Wang Xiaoqiang said confidently.

“How did you judge this, commander?” The artillery second lieutenant was a little confused about the confidence of his regimental commander.

It's more than 1,000 meters away! Even though he was condescending now, if it weren't for the blessing of his 4x German-made telescope, he might not even be able to see his shadow clearly.

"Intuition! Just like when I first saw Brother Tang Dao Tang, I felt that he was thundering farts - extraordinary." Wang Xiaoqiang answered confidently.

Several officers around him looked at each other in confusion. .

If Commander Tang knew that you described him this way, Commander Wang, would he stop contacting him? Will there be any more artillery shells to send in the future? This must not be allowed to be known to Commander Tang.

Especially the second lieutenant of the artillery, he regretted talking nonsense with his regimental leader who seemed to be incompatible with him. If he had known this, he would have done whatever he said. What suggestions could he make? No, didn't Captain Wang, who had no control over his words, call Captain Tang a piece of shit?

As everyone knows, the artillery platoon leader's head was filled with confusion as a certain regimental commander looked at his subordinates' speechless expressions, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Even Brigadier Cheng commented: Among the regiment-level cadres under his command, the most calm one is Captain Xu, the most brave one is Ye Chenghuan, and the most cunning and cunning one must be Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang, who was nicknamed by the teachers as the 'crazy warrior', was never rated as the bravest by Brigadier Cheng. On the one hand, it shows Ye Chenghuan's bravery, but on the other hand, it doesn't mean anything. It shows that Wang Xiaoqiang's greatest trait is that he has always been He is not the brave man who goes into battle to kill the enemy with a big sword on the surface. He has extremely high battlefield wisdom.

A seemingly unintentional joke about Tang Dao, but it was actually intentional. Its purpose was just to stop pushing, just listen to me and let me do what Te Liang did.

Intuition is actually the simplest way. Wang Xiaoqiang did not have time to explain to his subordinates at the moment. The positions of the figures standing outside the courtyard were a bit messy, which did not meet the standards that guards should have.

He must be a Japanese military officer, but no one knows how old he is.

In any case, Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang's principle is that regardless of whether there are jujubes or not, we should first hug two poles.

It's just that Wang Xiaoqiang also knows the personality of his subordinates very well. Two months ago, not to mention cannonballs, even bullets were counted by the bullet.

Even if he is the leader of the regiment and orders them to spend money and waste, they will obey his orders, but they can't guarantee that they won't scold him as a prodigal leader. No, when he teased Tang Caishen, Second Lieutenant Mudun, who made a living by delivering artillery shells to the Four Lines Regiment, his eyes immediately changed. It is estimated that he was only willing to fire three rounds of this kind of lucky bombardment, but now he dared to double it.

"Okay, you are the commander and you have the final say. However, because of the difficulty in transportation, my platoon brought 18 rounds of artillery shells. As agreed, we will fire 6 rounds, two for each door!" He is too reliable and plans to use 6 rounds of artillery shells to pay for Commander Wang's vague intuition.

"Okay! But if the shot is not accurate, your artillery platoon will only have cabbage and rice at night!" Wang Xiaoqiang nodded, and added a tight spell to the artillery platoon.

The artillerymen of the 772nd Regiment on the hillside were busy under the leadership of the artillery second lieutenant.

Ten minutes ago, in the small courtyard in Changle Village, Yamashita, who had been silent for a long time, finally walked out of the house and discussed the current war situation with the brigade chief of staff Yota Into who rushed to the headquarters.

As the commander of the rear wing defense line, Yin Teng Youta was 700 meters away from the front line defense position. After the Fourth Army Regiment threw explosive packets at the front line position causing a terrible explosion, he knew that the position was about to be breached, and everyone stayed on the position. All personnel will die.

Without much hesitation, he immediately led all the remaining troops except the first-line positions to retreat back, and withdrew nearly 2,500 meters before gathering the remaining troops and re-building a defense line based on the local terrain.

Fortunately, the Chinese army that broke through the position did not pursue them all the way. Otherwise, Yin Tengyouta didn't know if he would have a chance to return to the brigade headquarters.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the rear wing defense line has been lost and the artillery brigade has been severely damaged. There are only 7 mountain cannons left. Many artillery shells were abandoned on the position because they were too late to move. I have ordered them to withdraw into the mountains to avoid being attacked by the Chinese again. Artillery retaliation, as the rear wing commander of our brigade, I cannot absolve myself of the blame, and ask the brigade commander to punish you." Yota Yin Teng lowered his head and admitted his mistake very frankly.

He knew the temperament of his brigade commander. Not to mention his arrogance, he was extremely stubborn and found it difficult to tolerate the mistakes of his subordinates. Even if he was the lieutenant-general-level chief of staff, losing the rear wing was a matter of life and death for the entire brigade. This kind of In a critical situation, it is difficult to guarantee that the major general brigade commander will not use him as an army lieutenant to sacrifice the flag for the entire brigade to stimulate the brigade's desperate desire.

Therefore, the chief of staff of the Second Mixed Brigade, who was very guilty, kept his attitude extremely low. Unless he threw a knife and asked him to have his stomach opened to apologize, he would accept all other punishments, even dismissal on the spot.

But to the surprise of the army lieutenant colonel, although Major General Yamashita's face was ugly, after listening to his words, he shook his head and his tone was quite gentle: "Yang Taijun, although your rear wing is defeated, but This war is a crime other than war.

The secret weapon used by the Chinese mentioned in your message can throw large explosive packages hundreds of meters or even hundreds of meters away. Competed with crude field fortifications.

I have stated this in my message to Commander Xiangyue Qingshi, and the Front Army Headquarters will not hold you responsible for this. "

“Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, Yin Teng Youtai has failed to live up to your high expectations.” Yin Teng Youtai felt his eyes were hot and there was a sob in his throat.

This is not just pretending, but he is really emotional and moved by his Major General brigade commander.

Not only did Yamashita forgive him for losing his position, but more importantly, at this critical moment, he also sent a message to the East Route Army Headquarters to defend him, and was even willing to bow to Lieutenant General Xiang Yue Qingshi.

From the fact that Yamashita solemnly read out the name of His Excellency Commander Xiang Yue Qingshi, Yin Teng Youta knew that in order to save the second mixed brigade, the proud Yamashita had actually given up his pride.

Of course, even if Yamashita is still proud and not very proud of Xiang Yue Qingshi, Xiang Yue Qingshi in Lucheng is like ants on a hot pot, and he still has to rescue the second mixed brigade.

If the Second Mixed Brigade is made dumplings by the Chinese, the newly appointed Shanshan Yuan was appointed by the Emperor. No one can be slapped in the face of the Emperor. It is enough to say that he is new to the country and is not familiar with the war situation in the north. Although the matter was overturned, he, the supreme commander of the Eastern Route Army, could not escape no matter what.

The future of Yamashita, the commander of the Major General Brigade, is already over. He, a future general, cannot be tied to this fool.

This truth is understood by both Yamashita and Yoto Yinto, but Yamashita still gives up his pride, which shows how determined he is for the life and death of the entire brigade.

It is difficult to choose death, but it is equally difficult to let go of pride.

You tell me how Yin Teng Youta was so moved that she burst into tears. He just hugged Yamashita's lap and cried. In addition, he had to say: I should bow my head and die for you!

“Yin Tengjun, don't be too discouraged. Now the Chinese have completely gained the upper hand and have completely surrounded our troops. It seems that they can crush the remaining troops of our troops into powder at any time.

However, I remember a famous person said that life is like a game of cards. Even if you get the worst deck of cards, you can't give up. You have to finish the game! Whether you win or lose can only be determined at the end of the game.

Yin Tengjun, I don't know if you have ever had such an experience. You got a very bad hand, but at the end of the game, you were surprised to find that the bad hand won because your opponent inadvertently made mistakes again and again.

I have had such an experience! "Yamashita cast his gaze into the distance, his somewhat thin profile looking resolute and determined.

The extremely philosophical and decisive words seemed to inject new strength into the already frustrated Yin Teng Youta.

For the first time, Yin Teng Youta looked at Yamashita as a superior officer.

But, idol!

It is not difficult to speak philosophical words. Just recite a few famous quotes and look calmer, and your strong character will come out.

But at this time when thousands of people are about to be wiped out and the honor of Major General of the Imperial Army is about to be nailed to the pillar of shame of the entire Imperial Army, it is really rare for someone to be able to motivate his subordinates like this.

Such a person who did not become a general would definitely be a loss to the empire! Yin Teng Youta felt very unworthy of his new idol.

This person feels sorry for others, which usually happens after a good person has passed away.

So, isn't something going on?

“Whoops!” A sharp voice sounded.

"There are cannons!" Yota Yin Teng felt as if all the blood in his body had solidified when he had this idea.

Yamashita's body, which is ten years younger, is obviously more responsive. The moment he turned over and lay down, "Boom, boom, boom!" Three consecutive shells landed inside and outside the small courtyard.

Following this, there were three more shots, accurately landing on the previously bombed area.

Just like what is sung in a song: before one wave subsides, another wave comes, a huge sea of people, a violent storm.

To put it bluntly, if you are afraid that one wave of explosions will not kill you, then let's do two waves of Baga!

The stone screen originally used to block bullets was blown away, and two large holes were blown into the blue brick wall. The thick cotton cloth used to cover the windows was soaked with water, but it blocked a lot of flying shrapnel.

But the general is not in the house!

He was filling cups outside the house

The price of filling the cup is that a certain Army Major General, who was still staring ahead, instilling strength into his subordinates to show the Imperial Japanese Army's perseverance and courage in refusing to admit defeat, was covered in blood and was lifted several meters away by the air wave.

“Your Excellency, Brigade Commander”

Yin Tengyouta, who shook his head and shook off the dust on his head, screamed wildly, as if his father was dead!
