September 9th, a day that all the officers and soldiers of the Japanese 21st Division will never forget!
It was also a **** day!
Facing the solid defense line of the Fourth Army Regiment, which deployed heavy machine guns, machine guns, and a large number of mortars, Yin Tangxiuer, who had personally arrived at the trench 600 meters away to command the operation, was filled with tragedy and prepared for the worst.
If it doesn't work, he will follow the example of the former military **** Nogi Hitori and use the "pig attack tactic".
Who makes him want to be promoted too eagerly? He has been personally appointed by Major General Nagano as the frontline commander of Position 1, responsible for commanding the first and second infantry brigades, two tank squadrons, and five artillery squads. He almost has Command of half of the 83rd Infantry Regiment.
But the higher the command authority, the greater the responsibility. If the attack fails, he will be the first person responsible for the front line. It is only a trivial matter that his wish to be promoted to colonel is failed. It will be tragic if he is ordered to break his belly to apologize.
To be honest, the face of the Japanese lieutenant colonel who received this appointment early in the morning was extremely pale.
Yintang Shuuji is a middle-aged man who is over forty and has no doubts. He knows the subtext of this appointment very well. Nagano Kameichiro does not intend to give him any retreat, nor does he give the 83rd Infantry Regiment any retreat.
You can get there even if you are not afraid of death. Even if it takes 4,000 lives, you still have to get to position No. 1.
The division's artillery wing has 24 of the 36 75mm mountain guns, 4 105mm howitzers, and the wing's 4 mountain guns, 4 mortars, and 9 infantry guns. They have been preparing for the artillery fire at Position 1 for nearly 2 hours. From about 7 o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock in the morning, the three machine gun bunkers that made the tanks and infantry artillery grind their teeth yesterday but were helpless have long been blown into ruins!
The specific losses of the Chinese are not known, but the fortifications and cliffs they built have been completely destroyed!
"Order the 1st and 2nd Squadrons of the 1st Battalion, and the 3rd and 4th Squadrons of the 2nd Battalion to prepare. When the artillery fire of the division is extended, they will follow the tank squadron to advance! The remaining squadrons are responsible for covering and responding." Yin Tangxiuer was lying in the trench with a telescope. After carefully observing the battlefield, he ordered coldly.
The overall width of the defense line is only 800 meters, which really does not support the investment of more troops. The two waves separated by more than 100 meters total 700 troops, which is the limit that the Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel can invest, otherwise he would dare to put 700 troops into the remaining four squadrons. The infantry were thrown in together.
1,200 meters further away, Kitahara Kurasuke, the captain of the 83rd Infantry Regiment, looked at the infantry movements on his front line with a telescope and a serious face. How could he not understand what the acting division commander meant?
Afraid that he, the captain of the Colonel-General Regiment, would not fight with all his strength to preserve his strength, a No. 1 frontline command post was built across his regiment headquarters, and a greedy guy like Yoon Tang Soo-ul was set on fire, leaving only one front line. Road optional.
To be honest, regardless of the high-level military meeting at the infantry battalion level convened by the division commander yesterday evening, because the opponent was just a small infantry regiment with limited strength, the morale of the generals was once again high, and Kitahara Kurasuke, who spoke very little, But I had a bad feeling.
Honori Nogi's reputation as a military **** was written with the lives and blood of the 60,000 imperial troops, but that was also helped by the 203 howitzer, the national artifact brought from the mainland.
It is true that the Chinese army on the defense line at this time cannot compare with the Mao Xiong who had solid fortifications and heavy artillery, but what does the 21st Division have? The four 105mm howitzers are the only ones that can be used, and the rest is the life of the 13,000 infantrymen.
The most terrible thing is that an infantry regiment that can destroy the 2nd Mixed Brigade together with the famous infantry brigade will only have mortars and a few limited mountain guns?
Moreover, even those mountain artillery pieces that had bombarded the division commander, except for being used in the morning, were nowhere to be seen throughout the afternoon. Could it be that they were killed by the army aviation group?
Kitahara Kurasuke is actually not willing to base his victory on the illusory so-called luck. It is more likely that the Chinese have a conspiracy!
Perhaps, Yin Tangxiuer's turbulent attack with more than 700 imperial officers and soldiers, the Chinese can only reveal all their trump cards!
Looking at the dozens of tanks and the densely packed infantry figures that had begun to roar on the hillside, the Japanese army commander pursed his lips tightly and looked grim.
Most of the generals of the 21st Division were staring at the No. 1 position in front of Niangziguan, expecting and being mentally prepared.
But I'm afraid no one expected that the first to pay heavy casualties would be not the 83rd Infantry Regiment, which was stationed in front of the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company, but the 62nd Infantry Regiment, which was bypassing the main defense line at Niangziguan.
The engineer company of the Fourth Line Regiment carried 1,600 anti-infantry mines before departure. Originally, according to Lei Xiong's request, at least 1,000 anti-infantry mines were to be placed on the main defense line to be defended by the first and second battalions, but the engineer company Changbai Sheng made a suggestion, and Lei Xiong, who had been thinking about it for a long time, nodded in approval.
Bai Sheng believes that the Japanese army will definitely use artillery to focus fire on the main defense line positions and in front of the positions. If too many infantry mines are placed, there is a high chance that they will be detonated by the artillery fire, causing waste. It is better to use this kind of anti-infantry mines for the Japanese army. Areas where a large amount of artillery fire will not be used, such as in front of the highlands on the flanks.
The terrain of the flanking highlands is slightly different from that of the main defense line. The mountains are lower and the vegetation is denser. The success rate of laying mines in such areas is obviously much higher.
Therefore, according to the topography and topography, the engineer company, with the cooperation of the three battalions and two infantry platoons, spent a whole day laying more than 1,000 mines in front of the flanking high ground, and the furthest distance was even 2,000 meters away from the high ground!
From the moment the 62nd Infantry Regiment detoured into the mountains and forests, the nightmare began to come!
“Boom!” From time to time, an unlucky child would step on an anti-infantry mine or kick on the hemp rope that tripped the mine.
"Haha, another unlucky devil's **** were blown off. Let me count how many **** fell in our Taihang Mountains." Boss Cao in the trench on the 209.1 Highlands was excited and carved on the earthen wall of the trench with a military spur. Horizontal bar.
Today's boss Cao is no longer a second-class soldier in the battalion's cooking squad, but a real first-class soldier. Among the same batch of new recruits, he is rare.
Because now the Four Lines Regiment will no longer be promoted to military rank after meritorious service as before. Unless it is special meritorious service or first-class meritorious service, they are basically rewarded in kind. In the battle to destroy the Second Mixed Brigade, the recruits who won great achievements and were promoted to rank There were less than five people, and Boss Cao was one of them. His record of killing nearly 40 enemies was beyond the reach of the recruits, and even many veterans could only give a thumbs up.
In addition, during the training, Boss Cao continued to break his record of bomb throwing distance. In the farthest trench, the record of throwing grenades without running up reached 80 meters, and it was extremely accurate, with an error of no more than 2 meters. It was astonishing. The humanoid 'little steel cannon', so Boss Cao has been very prosperous in the 4th squad of the 7th company's sharp knife platoon in the past two or three months. Even several veteran sergeants only call him 'Boss Cao' instead of others. Real name, that itself is a kind of recognition.
Not everyone in the army has a nickname!
"Uncle, please have a rest! Those anti-infantry mines were buried with the help of the animals from Squad 1. It's not like you don't know that squad leader Mu Mu seems to be an honest man. In fact, he is the best at sneaking around in the whole company. The little devil walked up to us. I wouldn't believe it unless a hundred people were killed in front of the position!" Tu Yunsheng, holding a cigarette in his mouth but not lighting it, said with a sideways glance.
The corporal more than two months ago is now a sergeant, and the deputy squad leader has become a squad leader, becoming a real commander, even the lowest level.
But even among the arrogant soldiers of the Seventh Company, no one questioned Tu Yunsheng's qualifications. This army sergeant who was born in the Sichuan Army worked hard step by step, rising to a higher level in every battle, and even won gold and silver medals. one.
In the words of company commander Li Jiujin: "According to Xiaotu's promotion method, I'm afraid if we have another five or six battles with the little devil, I, the company commander, will have to sit for him!"
Of course, Li Jijin was joking, but the young sergeant's battlefield performance was absolutely outstanding and brilliant.
According to Boss Cao's request, after the war, the two people who were promoted entered the same infantry squad. The younger one was the squad leader, and the older one was a private. They neither called Boss Cao by his nickname nor his name, only called him uncle. That's just Tu Yunsheng.
That was the friendship between the two people in that extremely **** battle, and no one can replace it!
"I told you, monitor, don't always laugh at me for not knowing how to count. Believe it or not, I will spend money to find those college students to make up for their math lessons alone after I go back. I can also teach your children to count beads in the future!" Boss Cao heard this! After Tu Yunsheng's deep ridicule, he retorted angrily.
"Haha! Uncle, I believe everything else you say, but if you want to spend money to study, I really don't believe it. Also, you can't even count from 1 to 100, who gave you the courage to teach my baby Counting beads? I beg you, please let go of the baby that is still in my future wife's belly." Tu Yunsheng laughed. When the few surrounding soldiers who had their eyes closed and meditated heard this, they all laughed together.
"Why are you laughing? What's so funny? You little bastards, after I finish the war with the Japanese, you will definitely use the money you saved to open a school and recruit all your little kids. You will not teach anything else but just teach how to make steamed buns. Huamuan, I'm good at it." Boss Cao looked unconvinced.
"Uncle smokes, I'm so scared of you. What are we brothers doing so hard for? Isn't it because we want our children to have a good future in the future? It turns out that your wish is to teach them how to make steamed buns and rolls. If you dare, I can cook!" Tu Yunsheng was convinced by his big brother, and he quickly handed over the cigarette and threw the cigarette case to another soldier, indicating that he would give it to the whole class.
Because, in their small highland, the only garrison they had was an infantry squad, plus a medical soldier assigned to them, a total of 16 people!
Highland 209.1 is 200 meters above sea level, and is flanked on the left and right by highlands 230.2 and 229.3. The three highlands are the defense area of the entire sharp knife platoon. They are part of the 10 highlands defended by the entire seventh company, and are also the most advanced positions in the seventh company's defense area.
Since the flank area of Niangziguan's main defense line is extremely large, just one seventh company needs to defend 10 highlands with an overall width of 1,500 meters, and the entire battalion is 3,000 meters high. Reserves and deep positions must also be left, so the troops are naturally dispersed. .
The reason why the sharp knife platoon can be called the sharp knife platoon is that it is the most capable of fighting tough battles. This difficult task naturally falls on them.
Under the weighing of the second lieutenant of the Sharp Knife Platoon, the task of Highland 209.1, the lowest among the three highlands, fell to the 4th Squadron.
Although it seems that the low altitude here is the most dangerous, because of the low altitude, the light machine guns and mortars deployed on the highlands on both sides can provide condescending fire support to this "low-lying" position, and can also provide fire support to its two wings. Fully protected.
Of course, the most important thing is to have full trust in Tu Yunsheng, the leader of Class 4!
In the sharp knife platoon, there is a jingle for each squad leader: the honest squad leader is poisonous, the big squad leader is fierce, the skinny squad leader is ruthless, and the small squad leader is handsome!
It seems that what is mentioned in a jingle is the personal characteristics of the four squad leaders of the Jian Dao Pai, but in fact, the handsomeness of Tu Yunsheng can be said to be both in appearance and temperament.
In terms of overall strength, Tu Yunsheng is the most balanced among the four squad leaders of the Sharp Knife Platoon!
"Hey! Monitor, there is no future for our descendants! I just hope they can have enough to eat, and don't be like my poor brother who fell off the cliff for so long just to change his stutter. He just died." Boss Cao took a puff of cigarette, and his eyes flashed with sadness again.
Every time I think of my brother saying, "Brother, I'm sorry!" before he died! ', and the blood-stained face of the young machine gunner who never took a sip of mutton soup until his death. Boss Cao's heart felt like needles pricking his heart. It was a pain that he would never be able to get over in his life.
"Uncle, the situation is too low! The regimental commander once told a dream he had. In his dream, he dreamed of our China after the victory of the war! Not only can everyone have a full stomach, but also have meat to eat every day, and there are high-rise buildings in the city. The building is brightly lit. Our military includes the army, navy, and air force. We are equipped with aircraft carriers, 10,000-ton cruisers, and fighter planes that can disappear in the blink of an eye. In particular, there are countless cannons, which can be equipped by an infantry battalion. A dozen heavy cannons." Tu Yunsheng looked at the sky with hope, describing the 'dream' that Tang Daozeng and the others had described.
That was really a scene that any Chinese soldier was looking forward to. It was also at that time that the young Sichuan Army soldier who was used to hanging around gritted his teeth and quit smoking. He really felt like a cat's claw in his heart, so he smoked a cigarette.
He knows that if you want to fight the Japanese devils properly, you can't do it without a good body, and the smoke is really a blood-sucking worm that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, which is a waste of money and drains the body. Fortunately, the regimental commander was particularly understanding of the Sichuan troops who were accustomed to living like this. As long as there were cigarettes, they would supply them in large quantities. This was one of the important reasons why Tu Yunsheng was willing to follow Tang Dao.
The commander who is considerate of the soldiers. If you miss one, you don't know how long you will have to wait until you meet him. Sichuan people are romantic optimists, but they are also very practical.
"Really? Will our army be so powerful in the future? Also, what are those aircraft carriers and cruisers? How much bigger are they than the awning boats in our hometown?" A corporal veteran from the Songjiang Security Group came over and asked.
"Bah, what kind of awning ship, how can it be compared! An aircraft carrier is a big ship that can sail on the Yangtze River. It can carry at least 1,800 people. A cruiser! I guess it is a transport ship, hundreds or even thousands. Sheep kind." Tu Yunsheng spat at his colleague, who had little experience, and began to brag based on his own imagination.
The large ship that can carry hundreds of people in Jiang Xin's mind is already the largest ship that young people in Sichuan have ever seen. The one that can carry a thousand people is even more unimaginable. There is a sheep in that cruiser, which naturally exposes the situation. The purpose of ships!
“My God, what a big ship that is!” the soldiers all exclaimed.
Everyone has overlooked a very important issue. They are all going to sea to fight. What the **** is a ship specially designed to transport sheep? Do we need to build a special grass cruiser? People eat sheep and sheep eat grass. This closed loop is complete, right?
The Chinese soldiers who did not have enough experience were looking forward to a better life in the trenches because of the inconsistent descriptions of the sergeant squad leader, but the Japanese troops of the 62nd Infantry Regiment advancing in the mountains and fields were completely plunged into a nightmare.
Faced with this kind of anti-personnel mine hidden under vegetation or even buried under seemingly impossible rock formations, not to mention that they didn't bring a few metal detectors at all, even if they did, it was mostly useless!
The engineer squadron following them carried a total of three metal detectors. After the first anti-infantry mine was trampled and the four legs of two soldiers flew into the sky, all three metal detectors were deployed. The inferior quality The imperial military industry completely made the soldiers of the 62nd Infantry Regiment lose confidence in it.
It doesn't matter that there are very few landmines that can be detected. Even the engineers holding metal detectors were killed and injured more than a dozen, until all three metal detectors were blown into parts!
Since then, nearly 4,000 officers and soldiers of the 62nd Infantry Regiment have been walking on the edge of the knife. In 4 hours, they have only advanced less than 1,000 meters. Not to mention, nearly 10 officers and soldiers died and more than 160 officers and soldiers were injured. cost.
Most of the dead officers and soldiers were hit by projectiles in the waist and crotch, suffering from unbearable severe pain due to vital injuries. It really wasn't because the first aid kits were incompetent and could not effectively stop the bleeding. There were more than thirty soldiers without legs. The fact that he was still lying on the stretcher and groaning was proof of this.
Good guy, I haven't even seen a Chinese person yet! More than 600 infantrymen lost their combat effectiveness.
A wounded soldier cannot be carried by two soldiers, right? Abandoning all the wounded soldiers, not to mention that the infantry captains did not dare to think so, even their captain Yokoyama Sawa, who was always known for his fierceness, would not do this.
"Gather all the wounded soldiers in the valley, leave an infantry squad and six medical soldiers to take care of them, wait until we eliminate the Chinese, and then take them back for treatment." Yokoyama Sawa, the captain of the Colonel's Regiment in the prime of life with a savage look on his face, said After receiving reports of casualties caused by accidentally stepping on anti-infantry mines from three infantry brigades, he gritted his teeth and issued military orders.
This is actually equivalent to abandoning these more than 160 wounded soldiers. Without surgery and adequate medical treatment, almost no one can see the dawn three days later.
An infantry squad and six medical soldiers are the lowest limit that Yokoyama can accept. Otherwise, the terrible loss of 600 combat power before the war begins will make the front-line infantry feel a strong sense of frustration!
He must maintain his current morale and regain the high spirits he had before departure. The only way is to conquer the high ground of the Chinese and use the numerous corpses of the Chinese to inspire him!
But obviously, Hengshan Ze didn't know that the mountains and rivers and opponents he had to face were tough. Looking at the whole of China, they were all tough!
The battle on the frontal battlefield finally broke out at 9:22!
