Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 1123

Chapter 1123 Everyone here is rubbish!

“Baga!” Yin Tangxiuer looked at the battle report in his hand and screamed feebly!

After the tank squadron took the initiative to retreat, and watched his infantrymen being turned into torn 'rag dolls' by the Chinese mortar shells raining down, Yin Tangxiuer had no choice but to issue a retreat order.

But the dominance of the battlefield is not in the hands of the Japanese army. The two infantry squadrons, which lost the cover of infantry guns, tank guns and numerous machine guns, encountered the full fire of the first battalion and second company!

In the end, this was the largest attack of the newly formed 21st Division since it entered the battlefield, resulting in the loss of a 70mm infantry gun and 25 artillery casualties; three 94 tanks, 9 armored soldiers were killed; and 1 heavy machine gun and 1 machine gun were lost. The shooter suffered 6 casualties; the infantry suffered 127 casualties, plus a 96 fighter jet and a pilot. It was over!

The result of the battle! Almost nothing! In the history of Japanese military warfare, it is simply a big joke!

In fact, this is also true. In this seemingly large-scale attack battle involving Japanese infantry and armored troops, the entire Second Company only lost 3 soldiers and injured 8 others. Five of them were able to continue after simple treatment and bandaging. Get into battle.

Calculated in terms of battle losses, the number of casualties was actually 6. If compared with the main attacking Japanese infantry brigade, the battle losses were as high as 1:27, almost setting a new record!

In the evening, Tang Tuanzuo, who arrived to inspect the defense line in person, gave Wei Donglai a very high evaluation for being able to protect himself and inflict maximum damage on the Japanese army, especially after the Japanese tanks took the initiative to retreat, Wei Donglai He made a prompt decision and used the strongest firepower of his infantry company to deal the greatest blow to the Japanese infantry. This was also a divine operation!

This wave of fierce pursuit and attack that did not skimp on ammunition consumption was not only a massive killing of Japanese infantry, but the greater effect was actually deterrence!

Human psychology is like this, if you are strong, I will be weak! The Japanese will be psychologically afraid after being beaten wildly by this attack, and this fear will spread accordingly, and their combat effectiveness will inevitably decrease as a result, which will be extremely beneficial to the next battle.

Many times, what is at stake on the battlefield is not only the equipment, the quality of the soldiers and the level of the commander, but also the psychology!

No one wants to fight an army that is not afraid of death. In that case, even if they win, it will be a tragic victory in the end!

Just like the Battle of Taierzhuang, despite the joy when the Chinese announced the results, what was hidden behind the scenes was the **** number of casualties on the Chinese side, which was close to 20,000!

The victory Tang Dao hopes for the most is to kill his Gouri, but my brothers can still sit together and drink a celebratory drink!

Although this is just an extremely good wish, it seems that Wei Donglai, the infantry company commander, has done a good job at present. He has killed more than a hundred enemies. With his own figures of 3 killed and 3 seriously injured, no one is better than him.

Zhao Daqiang of the 1st Company did a good job. Not only did he repulse the Japanese attack with the same force, he also left the wreckage of two Type 89 tanks on the hillside, still emitting black smoke to this day.

Zhao Daqiang is a typical player who thrives when encountering strong forces. Facing the four Type 89 tanks that the Japanese army also invested in, his method was to concentrate all his heavy firepower and confront them head-on. Two 12.7mm heavy machine guns and a 20mm machine gun concentrated fire. A Type 89 tank.

If one steel-core warhead can't penetrate, then use a few more. Two 12.7mm machine guns fired 3,000 rounds of bullets in more than 15 minutes of fighting, with an average of 1,500 rounds fired per shot.

Two 89 tanks were beaten on the battlefield and sparks popped out, just like setting off fireworks during the New Year! In the end, the hard steel plate was completely penetrated, and the front and side armor of the two tanks were exploded, leaving no less than 300 bullet marks. People with trypophobia will get sick just by looking at it. Goosebumps.

'No matter how hard you are, I will **** you. If I do it for a long time, you will become soft! ' Zhao Daqiang took this concept to the extreme.

That scene gave many Japanese infantrymen nightmares at night!

On the Fourth Corps side, the two infantry company commanders received commendations, but on the Japanese side, they were all roaring!

"You two idiots, who gave you the courage to invest so many troops in a tentative attack at once?" Major General Nagano Kameichiro, who arrived at the 83rd Infantry Regiment headquarters in person, looked at him coldly with a frosty face. Standing in front of him were two silent infantry captains.

Facing the questioning from their acting division commander, both the lieutenant colonel and the major just dared to lower their heads and remain silent.

Nagano Kameichiro glanced at the several army commanders standing around who also lowered their heads and said nothing, and sighed in his heart. Although no one said the reason, how could he not know?

Because of the death of the commander of the Fatty Division, according to the principle of progressive progression, the position of a colonel captain will definitely be vacant. Who wouldn't be jealous of the nine infantry captains under these three infantry regiments?

The desire to strive for success! It is inevitable and it is human nature!

As the commander of the three infantry regiments under the original division commander, these infantry officers who can stand here are all in his line. It would be unavoidable for him to suppress them as soon as he takes the position. Chilling.

After a long pause, the helpless Japanese Army Major General could only try his best to make his tone less harsh: "This time, for the sake of your bravery in fighting for the empire, I will not pursue it any further, but if there is any This time, we will definitely punish you severely!”

“Your Excellency, the Division Commander, is wise! Your duties will surely live up to the great expectations of Your Excellency, the Division Commander!” The two infantry captains hurriedly stood at attention and lowered their heads.

“You have all seen it yourself. The Chinese wear German-made steel helmets and dark blue military uniforms. They are definitely the most elite troops in China.

According to intelligence, the Chinese sent several infantry divisions and an infantry regiment this time. Based on observations and combat conditions during the day, it is very likely that what our division is facing this time is that infantry regiment! "Kameichiro Nagano changed the topic.

"What? Your Excellency, Division Commander, with the caliber of artillery and heavy machine guns equipped by the enemy, it is absolutely impossible for it to be an infantry regiment." Yin Tangxiuer raised his head, his eyes full of horror and even retorted regardless of his dignity.

A Chinese infantry regiment can only have 3,000 people in size. If it can be equipped with heavy firearms of this level and can even withstand the attack of a full division of the empire, then this national war will be a failure.

"Hey! That's because you don't understand this infantry regiment!" Nagano Kameichiro did not blame his subordinates for being disrespectful, but instead sighed. "Perhaps if I tell you their record, you will understand what kind of opponents our division has encountered.

The 36th Infantry Regiment in front of Sihang Warehouse, the Guoqi Detachment in the Battle of Guangde, and the Second Mixed Brigade in the recent Battle of Southeast Shanxi were all defeated by him! "

“Four lines of regiment?” The captain of the 83rd Infantry Regiment twitched sharply from the corner of his eye.

When they heard this formation, all the Japanese generals were speechless!

Even though the newly-organized 21st Division was established in July and only arrived in North China in early August, the name of the Si Xing Regiment is definitely resonant!

In the Japanese North China Front, there is a popular saying, "It is better to encounter a division than to encounter a brigade; it is better to fight an army than to encounter a regiment;".

The infantry brigade, the 683rd Brigade, has two main regiments under its command. They have been on the battlefields of Jin Province for a year, and they have fought on dozens of battlefields, large and small, without a single defeat.

Although more than 80% of them involve ambushes and sap battles, people have this elusive ability. The Battle of Shentou Ridge that took place in April even had soldiers ambush under their noses less than 10 meters away from the edge of the road. It can be called a god-level ambush battle!

Speaking of this opponent, I have already added twice that the 108th Division and the 109th Division, which had the most dealings with them, gave everyone a splitting headache.

As for the infantry regiment that would rather fight with an infantry corps than meet it, who else could it be besides the Four Lines Regiment?

The history of the rise of today's Si Xing Tuan is familiar to the senior generals of Japan's North China Front Army. It is completely a "history of getting rich" by riding on the corpses of the Imperial Japanese Army!

In the Battle of Songhu, the 36th Infantry Regiment was defeated by him and the captain of the Colonel Regiment; in the Battle of Songjiang, Chang Gushoufu of the Sixth Division was killed, and the Sixth Division suffered heavy losses; in the Battle of Jiaxing, the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade was killed It was completely destroyed, all the heavy artillery was destroyed, and the North China Front has not received any heavy artillery replacement so far; in the Battle of Guangde, more than half of the Guoqi detachment was damaged, and it is still being repaired in the rear; in the Battle of Southeast Shanxi, good guys, the Second Mixed Brigade Together with Major General Yamashita, the commander of the brigade, they were all broken into pieces.

Just picking any battle example is enough to make this unit famous. As a result, this small infantry regiment appeared on every battlefield that embarrassed the Japanese Imperial Army.

Not to mention how strong its combat power is, just talking about its attributes that can defeat the Japanese Empire is enough to make people palpitate!

"However, please don't be intimidated by the enemy's majesty! According to the intelligence collected from various battlefields by the headquarters, we basically know the layout of the enemy's troops!" Seeing that the faces of his major commanders and majors were extremely ugly, Nagano Kameichiro began to do it for them. Psychological Counseling.

“Five Chinese infantry divisions appeared in three areas”

As Nagano Kameichiro's hand slid across the map, the defense areas of the 921st Division, the 101st Division, the 17th Division, the 104th Division, and the 12th Division were highlighted one by one.

"What do you mean, the division commander?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Yin Tangxiuer's eyes.

“Yes, the enemy opposite our division will not have other Chinese troops, only the Four Elements Regiment!” Nagano Kameichiro nodded. A cold look flashed in his eyes, and his face was more excited: "If the Chinese deploy another infantry division on this line of defense, maybe our division will only be hindered by this, but there is only one infantry regiment."

"No matter how famous his Four Elements Regiment is, they only have a few thousand soldiers at most. Our division has nearly 20,000 troops. This battle will definitely eradicate this serious problem for the empire!" Seeing his boss deliberately pause, Yin Tangxiuer knew it. He immediately continued what his new division leader said!

"Yo Xi! What Mr. Shuu Er said is true. Insufficient troops are the fatal weakness of the enemy on the opposite side of me!" Nagano Kameichiro nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the re-energized generals under his command, and his expression changed again. serious.

“Gentlemen, the new formation of our division will mean the loss of Lieutenant General Washitsu Matsudaira. If we fail to achieve the goals set by the front army headquarters in this battle, everyone here including me will be punished!

The enemy troops neither dared nor could retreat, because they would die if they retreated, so they were forced to fight to the death! But I, the gentlemen, and the imperial army cannot retreat, we can only fight to the death!

Your understanding! "

“Hi! I understand!” All the officials bowed their heads in response.

"So, after tomorrow's artillery preparations, the 83rd Infantry Regiment will attack position 1 with the 1st and 2nd Battalion and the 1st and 2nd Tank Squadron as the main attack! The 3rd Infantry Regiment and the 1st and 2nd Squadron of the Baggage Regiment will be in preparation. Team!

The 62nd Infantry Regiment used its 1st, 2nd and 3rd Infantry Brigades, the 3rd and 4th Squadron of the Baggage Regiment, and the 3rd Tank Squadron to attack positions 2, 3, and 4 in front of them!

The 82nd Infantry Regiment, based on the reconnaissance information of the advanced soldiers, will march at 5 o'clock in the morning from 3 kilometers on the flank of the Chinese army's defense line into the mountainous area. The 82nd Infantry Regiment will be personally commanded by Colonel Yokoyama Sawa, the commander of the 82nd Infantry Regiment, to conquer the flanking high ground and directly attack the enemy. Get behind enemy lines!

By then, even if our army cannot pry open its frontal defense line, it can still destroy it in this mountain with its superior strength!

Also, in order to avenge Lieutenant General Washizu Matsudaira, I don't need any prisoners in this battle! I want to hang the corpses of everyone in the regiment from the commander on down on their defensive line. Do you understand? "Kameichiro Nagano slapped his hand **** the simple combat table, his face full of ferocity!

“Hi!” All the senior colonels, lieutenants, and majors stood at attention and bowed their heads.

The blows suffered during the day are gone at this moment!

Although we know that the strength of the Si Xing Regiment cannot be underestimated, they are a division, a division with 19,000 troops. The opposite is just an infantry regiment, and they have completely crushed it in terms of strength.

It is precisely because of this Achilles heel of the Four Troops that Nagano Kameichiro made the current deployment of troops.

The 21st Division was almost the entire force. Just for the 800-meter No. 1 position where the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company were located, he deployed an entire infantry regiment, with two infantry brigades serving as vanguards, one infantry brigade and two baggage squadrons. Reserves.

The Japanese army's baggage squadrons have different personnel arrangements from those of infantry squadrons. A baggage squadron has about 3,400 personnel and is basically composed of three brigades and nine baggage squadrons. The average number of soldiers in each baggage squadron is around 350.

They are usually used as baggage transport troops. During fierce battles, they can be used as combat troops on the front line at any time. Moreover, most of the vacancies in the front-line infantry are also supplemented by baggage regiments.

In other words, the 2nd company from the first battalion of Wei Donglai will face the attack of nearly 4,500 Japanese infantry and more than 20 tanks from two tank squadrons!

Moreover, in addition to this infantry tank, there is also an infantry regiment equipped with 4 mountain guns, 4 90mm mortars, and 9 70mm infantry cannons as auxiliary equipment!

Such a terrifying force, let alone a small line of defense, so what if the entire Four Elements Regiment is here?

Nagano Kameichiro also used the strategy of "you are stronger, I am stronger". He used Position 1, which was the most severely damaged during the day, as a breakthrough point and gathered a large number of troops for the main attack.

As for the 62nd Infantry Regiment, two baggage squadrons and one tank squadron, it is basically a diversionary feint, which is to bully the Fourth Line Regiment's small number of troops, contain or consume most of its troops, and allow the 83rd Infantry Regiment to attack Position 1 with all its strength. .

Even this old fox with good battlefield experience prepared himself mentally that he would not be able to capture the position even with a strong attack, and placed the breakthrough point on the 82nd Infantry Regiment that was bypassing the flanks.

With an infantry regiment having up to 4,000 troops, he didn't believe that the four-row regiment that defended a defense line of nearly 5,000 meters could allocate many troops on the flanking high ground. Even if there were, he firmly believed that his infantry regiment could defeat them.

To put it bluntly, Nagano Kameichiro is ruthless to the enemy and even more ruthless to himself. If the main attack cannot be defeated, then more than 4,000 infantry and four-line regiments will be used to consume it. If the offensive and defensive battles cannot achieve 1:1 battle losses, then 1:2 or even 1 to 3, more than 4,000 troops can cost you 2,000 people no matter what.

Even if the entire battlefield is a war of attrition, what's the big deal? The 13,000 troops he invested were enough to consume the entire Si Xing Regiment.

When the flanking high ground breakthrough is completed, it will be the end of the Four Lines Regiment.

Of course, Nagano Kameichiro not only deployed nearly 80% of his troops to attack the Fourth Army Regiment's defense line, but he also secretly had a hand in reserve. He arranged the five supply squadrons and the division-directed squadrons with a total of more than 2,000 people who had no combat missions near the artillery wing.

After knowing that the current enemy was the Four Troops Regiment, he carefully studied several battles in which the Four Troops Regiment participated. There were at least two surprise attacks on artillery positions with small groups. The Kunisaki Detachment suffered heavy losses because of the loss of the artillery brigade. .

So, surrounding his artillery regiment, Nagano Kameichiro secretly ambushed 2,000 troops. It would be fine if the Fourth Army did not send a small group of elite troops. If they dare to come, they will lose their wives and troops!

Furthermore, hundreds of cavalry regiments from the 21st Division were scattered in the mountains, forests and wilderness in front of the defense line to clear out the reconnaissance spearheads of the Four Lines Regiment who had not yet had time to withdraw.

Whether there is or not, Nagano Kameichiro feels that no matter how cautious he is, he can never be too cautious against a powerful enemy like the Four Elements.

This is also the benefit of having sufficient troops. Even if he invests nearly 13,000 troops in the attack, he still has enough troops to deploy calmly.

This night, Nagano Kameichiro actually slept quite soundly after deploying all the tactical arrangements for the next few days.

On the first day of the battlefield, the hundreds of infantrymen who were damaged in the battle were nothing compared to the entire division. The most satisfying thing was that Lieutenant General Fatty was finished. The feeling of not having to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people was simply amazing. Perfect.

Nagano Kameichiro may not have expected that it was not that the empire's spies were not strong enough and did not accurately report the current strength of the Four Lines Regiment, but that even the Second Theater and the Military and Political Ministry themselves did not know the current true strength of the Four Lines Regiment.

Because the number of soldiers reported by the Four Lines Regiment has always been more than 2,800, which fully meets the standards of an independent infantry regiment. Even if there is an expansion, there will be at most more than a thousand men. This is the estimate of almost all generals.

But the fact is that the number of officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment that arrived at the Niangziguan defense line alone is as high as 8,000. If the newly formed Fourth Battalion is brought along, the actual number of troops that can be put into combat is no less than an infantry division.

The estimation error exceeds 1,000 people, and there may be countless variables, not to mention how many times the difference is?

Smiling in his sleep, Nagano Kameichiro dreamed that he would soon wear the Army Lieutenant General's badge and it wouldn't take long for him to burst into tears.

His wishful thinking was really wrong. If this was a test, Washizu Matsudaira, who had been roasted alive, was the last one, so he would be tied with him, and he would have to add Yoshito Takagi. !

Takagi Yoshito: Are you polite? Put two idiots from a Type B division into the same class as the commander of our majestic permanent division major general brigade?

Even if I wag my tail again, I would still be in the Rockets class! The two idiots on the slow shift should die as soon as possible.

Tang Dao: Don't fight for the fast and slow classes. In my opinion, everyone here is rubbish!

It is garbage, and its final fate will be thrown into the incinerator!
