Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 1125

Chapter 1125: Empty City Strategy?

Yin Tangxiuer was well prepared for this attack!

Two hours of crazy preparations for the bombardment were not enough, and red agent gas was used at 8:50!

The entire No. 1 position is filled with yellow-green gas. The weird color makes people's hair stand on end just by looking at it, let alone trying to survive in it.

"Yo Xi! In another 20 minutes, when the Chinese people are almost poisoned, we will order the assault troops to attack!" Yin Tangxiuer looked through the telescope at the top of the mountain shrouded in gunpowder smoke and poisonous gas, and smiled for the first time on his face.

　　With the double blessing of artillery fire and poison gas, no one can survive in this environment. The idea of the Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel is actually very logical.

But the Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel may not have expected that the Four Lines Regiment he faced had transformed again a month ago. The Four Lines Regiment that received the equipment of a German weapon division was at least better than the Battle of Southeast Shanxi in June, both in terms of equipment and combat power. Two percent.

Gas masks are standard equipment for every soldier!

After seeing the Japanese troops throwing poison gas, Wei Donglai ordered everyone to put on gas masks and retreat to the anti-slope trench.

This also means that when the 700 Japanese troops began to attack under the cover of 6 89 tanks and 10 94 armored vehicles, there was no one in the frontline trenches, not even observation posts.

When entering a distance of 400 meters, because they were afraid of the Sulotong 20mm machine gun on position 1, the six 89 tanks stopped and turned the turret slightly to find the target. The ten Type 94 tanks moved forward another 50 meters. Unable to leave, the 700 Japanese troops divided into two waves and began to bend down and enter the position.

Looking down from the top of the mountain, the khaki military uniforms are densely packed, like a swarm of locusts rushing towards the top of the mountain.

The Japanese attack was unexpectedly smooth!

Nearly 350 people from two Japanese infantry squadrons in the first wave have arrived at an area less than 150 meters away from the front-line trenches. Basically, they are almost lying on the ground.

As a result, not to mention the firepower of heavy machine guns and light machine guns, there was not even a rifle fire on the Chinese position.

To put it bluntly, it means quiet.

The Chinese were killed by imperial artillery and poison gas?

　　If you say that there were heavy casualties, hundreds of Japanese soldiers will believe it. But if you say that there is not a single person left, then even if they were killed, they would not believe it.

This Baga is really unscientific!

At least, Captain Matsui Takumi, who was in charge of the first wave of command, didn't believe it.

The Chinese must have some conspiracy!

But in other words, this is a conspiracy! Because even if you know that the Chinese are playing dirty tricks, what can you do?

What, everyone is just lying in front of the Chinese trenches and waiting? The reason is that no shot was fired?

Faced with the questioning looks from his subordinates, Captain Matsui gritted his molars and ordered: "Continue to crawl forward, wait until you enter the 100-meter area, and charge with all your strength!"

These 50 meters are actually what scares the Japanese infantry the most. According to common sense, suppressive firepower usually appears at this time. After entering the charging distance of 100 meters, the infantry only needs 10 seconds to enter 30 meters to throw grenades. Then It will be difficult for the defenders to defend themselves.

However, the entire position was still quiet, as if the defenders were all dead!

The 16 Japanese tanks 400 meters away were also a little dumbfounded. What is this situation? The cannonballs are loaded, let me play with this!

There is no target at all, I can't just hit randomly!

As a result, the most bizarre scene occurred on the Niangziguan battlefield.

The Japanese troops on positions 2, 3, and 4 next door invested less than 800 troops in total, but they fought fiercely. The Chinese machine guns, machine guns, and mortars, and the Japanese grenade launchers, infantry cannons, and heavy machine guns over there. You come and go, as if today is the decisive battle, either you die or I die.

The main battlefield of Position 1, where 700 infantrymen, a dozen tanks, 16 heavy machine guns, and 9 infantry cannons were deployed at once, was as quiet as an autumn afternoon.

However, the Japanese troops were not fooled by this tranquility. They even crawled to a distance of 80 meters from the Chinese front-line trenches.

As long as you give them 10 seconds, no, 8 seconds, they can rush to the 30-meter distance where they can throw grenades.

Even Matsui Takumi, who had a stern face 120 meters away, breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what tricks the Chinese played, at least they could conquer this trench.

“Onboard!”

As the siren sounded, the Japanese troops in front of the position stood up straight and began to charge with all their strength!

Faced with absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are false!

At least, this is what the Japanese infantry who have entered the stage of full charge thought.

Set the clock back five minutes!

"Company commander, let our platoon enter the position! If we slow down any longer, the Japanese will charge." A platoon commander asked anxiously.

"What are you in a hurry for? The first-line trench is just a small trench. If the Japanese want it, give it to them!" Wei Donglai, who was crawling behind a lookout post, did not take his eyes off the telescope.

"Company commander, what do you mean?" The second lieutenant platoon leader's expression changed, as if he had thought of something.

"Hey! I just received a call from the regiment headquarters. I will be in command of the artillery battalion this morning!" Wei Donglai looked at the large number of Japanese troops that gradually began to speed up, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "How about a company commanding a battalion? I can brag about this for several years!"

"Haha, next time we meet, Deputy Battalion Commander Pang Dahai will ask the company commander to treat him to a nice drink!" When the second lieutenant platoon leader heard that the artillery battalion finally stopped hiding, his face gushed. excited.

He has long heard that the Bofors Mountain Cannon newly equipped by the artillery battalion is powerful, but he has not seen it with his own eyes how powerful it is.

“As long as we can kill the Japanese devils, I can treat Deputy Battalion Commander Pang to a drink, let alone ten drinks!” Wei Donglai grinned. "Go and inform the brothers that each platoon of 60 guns is ready. We will also join in the excitement of the artillery camp. I will hide the rest."

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” The frontline trenches were filled with smoke.

At least two hundred melon grenades were thrown into the trenches, and the Japanese soldiers with long rifles just bravely rushed into the front line trenches with their big eyes wide open!

There is not a soul in sight!

The Chinese staged an empty city strategy for them!

But how to say it! At least there was a trench, even if it was a little shallow.

Yes, this line of trenches located 200 meters below the top of the mountain is only 70 centimeters at its deepest and only 50 centimeters at its shallowest, which is only enough for an adult to squat or lie down!

Moreover, after two hours of ravaging by 75mm mountain guns and 105mm howitzers, more than a quarter of the area collapsed. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has basically lost its function as a trench.

Especially, when they were shooting at the Chinese in the trenches above, looking at the trenches that were high in front and low in back, the Japanese infantrymen couldn't help but feel bitter in their mouths.

The trenches dug by the Chinese are really too damaging. The main protection is at the bottom of the mountain. You can't say there is no protection at all against threats from the mountain, but there are really not many!

Then, as Wei Donglai gave the order "Hit!", machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns from the second-line trenches poured down.

The dense bullets hit the Japanese troops hiding in the trenches and they did not even dare to raise their heads!

This is right! The 16 Japanese tanks can be regarded as finding the target. The 57mm tank gun and 7.7mm heavy machine gun fired together to provide fire support for the infantry. Seeing that the war had finally begun, the Japanese troops located 200 meters away from the rear of the first wave began to speed up. As long as the tanks and rear heavy machine gun positions could effectively suppress the Chinese firepower, the four infantry squadrons of them could rush forward without guns or bayonets. Tear the Chinese into pieces!

Because the three strong machine gun bunkers exposed yesterday had been completely destroyed by Japanese artillery fire, the two 12.7 mm machine guns and the 20 mm Sulotong machine gun did not fire, and the Japanese tanks opened fire unscrupulously.

Six 57mm cannons and 20 7.7mm heavy machine guns, plus grenadiers set up by the Japanese infantry 300 meters away, turned the 800-meter defense line into dust. The infantrymen almost didn't even dare to raise their heads!

"Yo Xi! Today is the time to defeat the enemy, and our squadron has to be the first to take the lead! Order! Keep moving forward!" Takumi Matsui, who was in the trench, saw the fighter plane and ordered the signal corps to sound the siren, urging the infantry in the trench to continue. forward.

“Company Commander, the Japanese are almost 120 meters away from us!” Beads of sweat rolled down the forehead of the second lieutenant platoon leader holding the phone.

At such a close distance, he could almost see clearly the brows of the Japanese infantrymen under Japanese-style steel helmets without using binoculars.

“Wait ten more seconds!” Wei Donglai was like a sophisticated machine, staring at the Japanese troops on the front position without looking back.

Ten seconds is very short, but in the second lieutenant's heart, it seems as long as a century has passed.

Because at least half of the Japanese troops who advanced within 100 meters had already straightened up and were ready to charge.

"Artillery battalion, open fire! The barrage will advance from 70 meters in front of our position to the front-line trench area. Focus on the front-line trench area for ten minutes!" Wei Donglai, who put down his telescope, finally gave the order.

“Our company is requesting.” The second lieutenant was relieved and quickly repeated Wei Donglai's order into the microphone.

“Wei Donglai is so ruthless!” Peng Panghai, who was standing by the phone, took a deep breath. "The barrage is only 70 meters away from the second-line trenches. You guys can't help but look up to the brothers of my heavy forced company."

This tactic of using heavy mortar firepower to support positions was not something Wei Donglai came up with on a whim, but had been practiced by both infantry and artillery sides in previous training.

But during the live-fire exercise, even if the infantry were hiding in the tunnels, in order to prevent accidental damage, the artillery company's shelling distance was strictly limited to 100 meters away, and it was pushed to only 70 meters away from its own trenches.

To be honest, the commanders of both infantry and artillery sides were worried.

But otherwise, how could this relatively large wave of infantry be surrounded at once?

Wei Donglai originally waited for two infantry squadrons to enter the first-line trenches before requesting the artillery battalion to fire, but the second wave of Japanese troops ran away.

Tang Dao's evaluation of Wei Donglai may be more appropriate: "Wei Donglai seems to be a pure scholar, but in fact, he is a deadly scholar!"

When he becomes ruthless, he won't even let himself go!

Perhaps all his weakness was blown away by Japanese artillery fire on the unknown highland of Mouse Mountain!

“咻儿~~~” A sharp howl pierced the sky.

Captain Matsui Takumi, who had just left the trench less than 20 meters away, looked up at the sky, and his face turned pale instantly!

He could tell that this was not the sound that an 82mm mortar could make!

The loud sound of "Boom!" and the fireball soaring 150 meters away from him proved his professional ability.

That is a 150 mm caliber heavy mortar. The heavy mortar company of the Fourth Row Regiment Artillery Battalion has 12!

The destructive power of a 19-kg projectile with a killing radius of 15 meters is no worse than that of a 105 howitzer.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” In the horrified eyes of the Japanese army captain, fireballs fell on the position one after another.

"Avoid the artillery!" the Japanese Army captain roared heart-breakingly, and then rolled and crawled towards the simple trench behind him that he originally despised.

At this moment, he finally understood why the Chinese abandoned the frontline trenches. That was because they had artillery and heavy artillery!

The frontline trenches they abandoned were simply not up to standard to avoid such terrifying heavy artillery. They were sweet bait specially used by the Chinese to lure them forward!

Although the Japanese army captain knew very well that once the simple trench fell into this level of artillery shells, he would be dead.

Except for the trench, which was less than half a meter deep, where could he and the imperial infantry hide? Just lie on the ground, behind the stone?

Don't be ridiculous, under the air wave of such a heavy artillery explosion, not to mention being hit by the huge escaping energy, just the flying rocks can kill you.

Those khaki figures that were constantly being swept away by the air waves were the result of not hiding in the trenches in time.

　　 accompanied by huge fireballs exploding on the mountain.

The Japanese troops on the hillside, both in front and behind, rushed frantically toward the front-line trenches, which were their only bunkers to survive.

The Japanese troops in **** were fighting for their lives, but no one of the Chinese soldiers in the second-line trenches dared to look at this spectacular scene.

In fact, the explosion point of the artillery shell was too close to them, so close that it seemed to fall on their heads. Being in a trench with a depth of 2 meters was like being in a rough sea, with dust and soil constantly falling on the helmets and helmets. Wearing earplugs on the body could not stop the continuous blasting of muffled thunder from entering the cochlea. The stimulation to the eardrums forced the officers and soldiers of the Second Company to try their best to open their mouths wide to relieve the pain, even if they had to eat a mouthful of ashes!

This is still nearly a hundred meters away from the artillery fire area, so one can only imagine what the Japanese infantry must have felt.

The Japanese army at the foot of the hillside had the opportunity to see the whole of this spectacular scene, just as the Japanese army reporter recorded the scene in his diary: "That was a scene more terrifying than the concentrated firepower of the Imperial artillery group. Every bullet The shells would throw up a dazzling fireball, especially when dozens of shells exploded at once, as if the entire hillside was covered in fierce flames from hell, which stung my eyes and heart even more so when I was six hundred meters away!

Because there are more than 700 imperial infantry there, can they escape from this premeditated and violent bombardment by the Chinese? May Amaterasu bless you! "

The Japanese military reporter's battlefield diary was not allowed to be published until after the war. Only then did the Japanese people learn that in the mountains of North China, there had been such a battle in which the Chinese ambushed the infantry with absolutely heavy firepower!

That is a complete crushing style, no one can resist!

Because the 150 heavy troops of the Fourth Army Regiment were hidden in the deep mountain forests, not to mention that the Japanese artillery could not find a target to suppress them. Even the Japanese reconnaissance planes that had been hovering in the sky for a long time could not find them.

None of the Japanese reconnaissance planes dared to enter the airspace below 2,000 meters. Looking down from a height of more than 2,000 meters, even with the blessing of a four-fold telescope, they could only see a bird?

It is not the great power of the Four Lines Regiment's air defense company, but the shadow of the famous tree. The strength of the Four Lines Regiment's air defense capabilities is already well-known in the Japanese North China Front.

Since it was determined that the enemy of the 21st Division was the Four Lines Regiment, the Army Aviation Corps of the North China Front of Japan broke out in a cold sweat from top to bottom. Captain Sasaki even involuntarily lit three incense sticks in the room to thank the Jade Emperor, the God of China!

Since escaping the disaster for the first time, the frightened Captain Sasaki has long since privately thrown away the amulets he asked for at home, and has also begun to worship Chinese gods. Amaterasu and the like can only cool down for the time being.

Then, the effect of "dead Taoist friends but not poor Taoists" again and again was extremely remarkable, which made Captain Sasaki even more convinced that his choice was correct. Look, he escaped from the "claws" of the Four Elements Group again this time, didn't he?

The Japanese North China Front Army Air Force, which had been defeated in several consecutive battles with the Four Troops, initially regarded the Four Troops as its old enemy. However, after more than ten fighter planes were lost in the Battle of Southeast Shanxi, the old enemy completely became Japan. Army pilot's nightmare!

They have expanded the size of their aircraft fleet time and time again, but the Four Lines seem to be born to defeat them. Their surface-to-air firepower has also been increasing. There are more and more anti-aircraft cannons, and the level of shooters has also improved.

Anyone who understands knows that the lives of Japanese Army Air Force pilots add experience points to others!

Therefore, the 12 150 heavy mortar batteries of the heavy mortar company kept roaring, and the Japanese army could only watch, and besides being helpless, they were still helpless.

"Baga! Order the front line to retreat immediately, retreat immediately!" After Yin Tangxiuer gave the military order with a livid face, he did not even look at the front and led his **** team to evacuate the front line trenches.

Without waiting for the post-war report, the Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel knew that in the bombardment of such large-caliber heavy artillery, not more than half of the four infantry squadrons he attacked could survive!

The brutal Chinese have endured until this moment before taking out their heavy artillery. It is definitely not just to scare people.

Yin Tangxiuer's command and combat skills are average, but he still has basic judgment. Fortunately, he can run fast.

For this bombardment, the heavy mortar company prepared a stock of 90 rounds of artillery shells and more than ten tons of ammunition for each artillery squad in advance. Two baggage platoons dedicated to serving them took two hours to move!

It took 20 minutes to bombard the Japanese army in front of the second line of defense with 600 rounds of artillery shells. The remaining 400 or so rounds began to spread the artillery fire, plowing the entire hillside from top to bottom, and by the way also bombed the trench dug by the Japanese army 600 meters away. One pass.

The result was that the Japanese troops still in this trench were killed and more than 60 people were injured!

But the ones who were even more miserable than them were the unlucky ones who were tortured for 20 minutes!

PS: I forgot to mention that I didn't update yesterday. It was because I stayed up late yesterday morning to watch the Champions League. As a result, Fengyue overestimated my body. I slept until 1 pm yesterday, got ready to code, and then found that I was completely confused. I couldn't get into the writing state no matter how much I smoked or drank tea. In the end, I even forgot to ask for leave! This is so old!
