Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 1130

Chapter 1130 Looking forward to the light!

"Order! The two infantry squadrons of the 3rd Infantry Brigade as a reserve force assemble to the wing headquarters; Order! The wing baggage squadron allocates 200 people to assemble to the wing headquarters; Order! The 3rd squadron of the division engineer wing assembles to our wing. Team site assembly;

In addition, I telegraphed to Mr. Nagano of the Division Headquarters that our 62nd Infantry Regiment has decided to fight the Chinese army here and requested support from the Division Artillery Regiment. If it can severely damage the Chinese artillery positions or the highland defenders opposite our Regiment, , all of which have greatly helped our division enter the first battle in China! "When the artillery fire stopped, Hengshanze stood up from the bunker and coldly issued several military orders.

They are all military orders to gather troops. According to the normal gathering speed of the Japanese army, there will be more than 1,200 Japanese troops here in less than half an hour, not counting the nearly 200 Japanese troops who have been basically wiped out in the artillery fire.

The 4th squad with 12 people left on the high ground and the 18-man guard squad rushing to the 209.1 highland didn't know that they were about to face a terrifying strength ratio of 40 to 1!

This may have also set a new record on the Chinese battlefield. With strong enough heavy firepower, the Japanese army, which has always used more to defeat fewer, actually played the game of Annan people fighting American cowboys in the southwest jungle in the next few decades. That set, the human sea tactic!

Of course, this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the Japanese artillery wing still has 40 artillery pieces, 36 75mm mountain guns and 4 105mm howitzers. If these 40 artillery pieces are really aimed at 209.1, which is only a few meters away, Thousands of square meters of hilltop.

Let alone 30 infantry, even 300 will be dead!

However, Yokoyama Sawa is obviously not stupid. Although he really wants to do this, he also knows that the division is not run by his family. He can fight as he says? Even if you are the division leader, Nagano Kameichiro still needs to make a balance, otherwise what will the other two captains think?

Therefore, he put forward another idea, asking the artillery regiment to find the general area of the Chinese artillery position and use artillery against artillery. According to the intensity of the Chinese firepower just now, there will never be more than 10 mountain cannons.

Although this has far exceeded his expectations, this small amount of artillery still cannot compete with the 40 artillery pieces owned by the division's artillery wing.

If he could persuade Nagano Kameichiro to accept his tactical strategy, lose the artillery cover, and use the human sea tactic here, he would not believe that he would not be able to chew this small mountain bag.

By this time, it was getting dark!

No matter how much Yokoyamazawa wanted to take advantage of the high ground in front of him, he still needed to wait for Nagano Kameichiro's reply. Therefore, he could only temporarily withdraw his troops and order the assembled squadrons to dig field trenches and camp temporarily along the mountain. Fight again tomorrow.

“Have the Chinese finally shown their last trump card?” Under the lantern, Nagano Kameichiro looked at the telegram sent by Yokoyama Sawa in front of him and fell into deep thought.

On the surface, a battle seems to be just about you attacking and me defending, relying on soldiers and equipment, but in fact there are many ways to do it.

For example, in today's **** battle, the 21st Division reported losses of more than a thousand people, which is equivalent to an infantry brigade withdrawing from the battle order.

This is only the first day, and the losses are already so huge, and the losses in the next few days may be even greater. Just thinking about the number of casualties will only increase, and perhaps no matter how mentally tough the commander is, he will feel depressed.

But for Nagano Kameichiro, it was extremely indifferent!

It's not that he is so awesome that he doesn't care about casualty figures at all, but for a 21st Division that lost a division commander at the beginning of the war, what else can't be lost?

If you want to save the division's honor, the whole division has only one way to go, and that is to break through the enemy's defense line!

It can be said that Nagano Kameichiro has a desperate mentality now, and how many people die is really not what he cares about most.

Of course, the death and injury of more than a thousand people allowed him to see clearly the cards his opponent had. This was what really made him feel calm.

Yes, when he learned that the opponent was the Four Troops, Nagano Kameichiro knew that it was an opponent that was definitely not that easy to deal with, especially if the opponent had a sufficient number of mountain cannons.

If you want to defeat the Four Lines Regiment, it is not enough to just rely on human sea tactics and attrition. You must also destroy the opponent's artillery.

Throughout the day, both the 83rd Infantry Regiment on the main position and the 62nd Infantry Regiment resolutely attacking from the flank were nothing more than bait.

It's not a temptation, but a compulsion, forcing the opponent to reveal his trump cards one by one!

As for the infantrymen who are destined to be on the death list, they are naturally just small pawns on the chessboard. Even if they are eaten, it is worth it as long as they can clearly see the opponent's trump card.

The terms "kindness cannot lead an army" and "one general can achieve the goal of destroying thousands of bones" are applicable not only to the Chinese but also to the Japanese.

Little people are just numbers in the eyes of big people.

Now, the trump cards revealed by the Four Elements Group certainly shocked him. They included both large-caliber heavy weapons and a lot of mountain cannons, but he finally saw them.

The destructive power of the large-caliber heavy force is enough to scare people, but its mere 3,000-meter range is destined to be a single type of artillery that can only attack infantry, and it is completely incapable of posing a threat to the enemy's artillery group.

The only thing that poses a threat is the mountain cannon which also has a range of 6,000 meters!

There is no shortcut to deal with such enemies, the only way is to kill them!

“Order the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Battalion of the Artillery Regiment and the attached guard units to move forward 1,800 meters to the southwest overnight. The 3rd Battalion and the Howitzer Squadron are on standby!” Kameichiro Nagano, who was determined, ordered.

The 24 No. 75 mountain guns of the two brigades of the artillery wing moved forward 1,800 meters, less than 4,000 meters away from the Niangziguan front line. Theoretically, they are already within the range of the Chinese mountain guns, but similarly, the Chinese artillery positions are also in these 24 The range of the Menshan Cannon, and the Chinese would definitely suffer a big loss if they bombarded them with twice the firepower intensity.

What's more, there are four 105 howitzers waiting for them at a distance of 6,000 meters away, out of reach of the Chinese artillery.

This means that Nagano Kameichiro has accepted Yokoyama Sawa's suggestion that the 24 mountain guns will be used as supporting firepower during the human sea tactics at any time, and will use this to lure out the general area of the Chinese artillery positions, and the two sides will engage in artillery battles. To decide the final direction of this offensive and defensive battle.

The two commanders of the Japanese army were extremely cunning and cunning, and in this dark night they decided the direction of the battlefield for the next day, but the Chinese side would not let them lead the way.

For example, in this dark night, according to the Japanese army's thinking, they were the attackers and showed such strong strength. Although the Chinese were quite tenacious in defending, they were at most a stubborn resistance and could defend their own territory. Three-thirds of an acre is good, what other ideas do you have?

But unfortunately, the soldiers of the Sixings Regiment, led by Tang Tuanzuo, have never been the kind of troops that follow the rules.

In front of the main position, the Japanese army deployed barbed wire and arranged a large number of sentry patrols to block the possibility of infantry attacks, but this did not mean absolute safety.

The company and platoon-level commanders on the position actually moved their 60 troops to the top of the mountain. The 1,500-meter range was enough for them to threaten all the Japanese camps on the front line.

From time to time, a flare was shot into the sky from the pitch-black wilderness, clearly illuminating the patrolling Japanese sentry.

Then, a row of artillery shells followed, exploding turf and gravel in the afterglow of the flares, accompanied by the wail of the Japanese patrol.

When the angrily Japanese soldiers also fired flares, trying to find the "grey rats" who dared to go down the mountain and lurk in front of their position, there was not even a shadow of a ghost on the position, and they might have attracted another row of artillery shells.

The most painful thing for the Japanese army was that the bright lights and shells that exploded from time to time lasted for a long time, which was simply cruel, lasting from 9 o'clock after dark to 4 o'clock in the morning.

Although everyone knows that this is a harassment war played by China, this is a typical plan. In this case, who can sleep peacefully? I don't know when a flare bomb was hit in front of the trench where I was camping, and then a row of shells fell on my head. I don't know how I died.

The two infantry regiments on the front line have nearly ten thousand infantrymen. On this slightly cold autumn night, they all looked at the sky with their big eyes open. If there was a flash of light, they would immediately run away with their heads in their hands!

“The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to look for light!”

The literal meaning of this poem seems to be tailor-made for the Japanese soldiers of the 21st Division, who stayed up all night and waited for dawn.

Of course, this kind of purely harassing shelling cost each company and platoon of the main position of the Four Lines Regiment more than 400 rounds of artillery shells and more than 50 rounds of illumination bombs throughout the night. Six of our own latent vanguard soldiers were injured and one person was killed due to the concentrated fire from the Japanese army. Not small.

However, the Fourth Army Regiment cannot record the results of the battle, but the only thing that is certain is that the nearly 10,000 Japanese troops on the front line will not have a sound sleep tonight.

Declassified documents from the Japanese North China Front after the war showed that on the night of September 9th in the Battle of Niangziguan, due to China's constant mortar attacks, a total of 34 people were killed and 103 were killed in the 82nd and 83rd infantry regiments facing them. Tragedy of human injuries.

But please note that these are only two infantry regiments, because the 62nd Infantry Regiment on the flank is far more miserable than this.

The Chinese defenders on the high ground did not just use mortars to harass them, but went straight down the mountain to counterattack!

Due to the difficult and dangerous mountain roads, the 62nd Infantry Regiment, which was eager to increase its marching speed, was forced to leave behind a lot of luggage, including barbed wire and other supplies that were necessary for the march. This also caused the Japanese troops camping in the mountains to lack the most necessary protection.

“Are you crazy! Squad leader Tu, our two squads combined only have so many people, and you still want to go down the mountain to steal Japanese people?” Zhou Dapeng, the squad leader of the security guard, almost had his eyes popping out of his sockets.

As a veteran of the Northeast Army who participated in the Battle of Songjiang, Zhou Dapeng is definitely not a weakling, otherwise he would not have been personally selected by Li Jijin to serve as the sergeant squad leader of the 7th company's guard class. Yamashita's Japanese army had obviously regarded Highland 209.1 as a breakthrough point, and their assembled troops definitely exceeded several hundred people. If they were to conduct a sneak attack at this time, they would completely lose their terrain advantage. They simply don't know how to write the word "death".

“Hehe! Squad leader Zhou, veterans like you think it's impossible, but the Japanese will think so even more. This is what the regiment said, surprise!” Tu Yunsheng chuckled. "Moreover, you brought this big killer weapon this time. How can you not let the little devil have a taste of it?"

"Yes! Squad leader Zhou, the company commander asked you to bring these things this time, not just for the sound of the Japanese cannons exploding. As long as they dare to chase, let them break their arms and legs! Oh, no, yes No descendants!" Boss Cao touched the metallic luster of the anti-infantry mine in the wooden box with a look of obsession.

This kind of anti-infantry mine made by the arsenal is really a good thing, and it is not big. It can be inserted into the grass. Once stepped on, it will definitely be a wailing!

"You guys in Squad 4 are all crazy!" The guard squad leader looked at the old man who was drooling when he touched the anti-infantry mine, and could only roll his eyes helplessly.

Originally, the twenty anti-infantry mines Li Jijin asked him to bring were for the 4th Squadron to bury about a hundred meters in front of the position at night to prevent the Japanese from making sneak attacks.

He wants to want to waste this group of lunatics in Class 4, and even plans to put these thunder in front of the Japanese camp.

"The regimental commander has said that if you want to win this Patriotic War, you must be crazy. If you are not crazy, how can you stop nearly a million Japanese soldiers armed to the teeth?" Tu Yunsheng shook his head slightly, with heavy pain in his eyes. Sigh softly. "If you are not crazy, how can you deal with those dead brothers!"

With one word, the small shell-proof cave was instantly silenced.

During the day on September 9th, compared with a Japanese infantry squadron that was annihilated by artillery fire, the losses of Squad 4 were actually not huge. One corporal machine gunner died and three soldiers were seriously injured. However, after all, there were still comrades who had been with them day and night. It is the corner that all soldiers least want to touch.

"Okay! I agree with your attack tactics. I will send the MG34 machine gun fire team to the battle position to provide fire cover for you, but you have to promise me not to be reluctant to fight. If you succeed, you will run away!" Zhou Dapeng took a deep breath. accepted.

"Don't worry, Squad Leader Zhou, I promise to complete the task!" Tu Yunsheng smiled and turned around to greet: "Uncle Cao, go and call the horses and the others, and bring the engineer shovels. 50 rounds of bullets are enough. Bring me a few more grenades! "

September 10, 3 a.m.!

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” Fires burst out continuously in the camp of an infantry squadron of the Japanese army!

"The Chinese are shelling! Avoid the bullets! Avoid the bullets!" A Japanese captain wearing military trousers and a white shirt yelled crazily, commanding his men.

In the light of the explosion, the figure of the Japanese captain with a command knife hanging on his waist is quite heroic. If it were placed in a movie, he would be at least the second male lead.

But on the battlefield, it was too conspicuous.

“Bang!” A gunshot!

It is not conspicuous in the Japanese infantry field camp where explosions continue to occur, but a **** flower blooms on the chest of the Japanese captain!

As the Japanese infantry captain looked towards his chest in disbelief, fiery gunshots rang out.

That was spitted out by four submachine guns and three semi-automatic rifles. Seven Chinese soldiers fired a rain of bullets at the Japanese army from a lurking point as wide as 200 meters and as close as 50 meters.

There was no artillery shelling, and the explosions that fell into the Japanese positions were entirely completed by Boss Cao, the human 'grenadier'.

Boss Cao, who was hiding behind a boulder 60 meters away, had 30 unscrewed grenades beside him. At least three-fifths of the 48 grenades carried by the eight soldiers before setting off were left beside him, and one was thrown every three seconds on average. The speed of the mortars directly caught up with the mortars, which gave the Japanese army the illusion of shelling.

The crazy rain of bullets from the 7-bar automatic firearms made the Japanese army finally know that they were under enemy attack. Although the unexpected death of the first lieutenant squadron made the Japanese army confused for two minutes, as a Japanese second lieutenant squad leader took over the command, the Japanese army also regained its composure. , while firing out flares to find the enemy, machine guns and grenade launchers also began to show off their power.

There were even dozens of Japanese infantry scattered to both wings, in a posture to surround the attackers.

At the same time, a Japanese camp two hundred meters away also woke up, and the noisy footsteps indicated that they were also beginning to rush towards their colleagues who were under attack.

Flare bombs were fired into the air one after another, illuminating the entire camp so brightly that several Chinese soldiers who were as close as tens of meters could clearly see the angry and distorted faces of the Japanese infantry without using binoculars.

They are so powerful that there are still Chinese people who dare to risk the world's disapproval to attack. This is simply a shame for the Imperial Army.

Perhaps, not only did he think so, but Colonel Yokoyama Sawa, who was awakened by the explosion more than 700 meters away, also thought so.

"Baga! Surround them and kill them all. I will hang their bodies on the highest peak of the Taihang Mountains so that all Chinese can see them!" Hengshanze roared angrily.

After all, there were many Japanese soldiers. In addition to the 18 people in an infantry squadron who were killed and wounded by grenades exploding in the air and a dense rain of bullets in a panic, the remaining Japanese troops had more than 160 people and hundreds of rifles and 6 light machine guns. The rain took over instantly.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese army's quick-response tactics of central suppression and flanking outflanking can be achieved very quickly, and it will be difficult for eight Chinese soldiers to escape.

But a fiery red whip swept across from the mountain forest 700 meters away!

The Japanese army's flares were too bright, especially in this dark night. They were so bright that they had no friends!

The MG34 fire team, carrying 1,500 rounds of ammunition and a total of 8 ammunition belts, quickly selected the target under the command of the assistant shooter with a telescope!

With the support of a tripod, the heavy machine gun type high-speed MG34 poured more than 600 bullets on the Japanese position in less than 1 minute, even more than the bullets fired by more than 100 Japanese infantry.

That would be a disaster!

An inventory of the infantry squadron after the attack revealed that more than 15 infantrymen were killed or injured in this round of horrific shooting.

But this is not the final nightmare for the Japanese infantry!

The real nightmare is that they, driven by the captain of the Colonel Corps, wildly chase the small group of Chinese soldiers who dare to attack them.

Then, you are trapped in a minefield!

Yes, the cunning and fierce Chinese actually used anti-infantry mines and trip-fire thunder gods to complete a minefield without anyone noticing on their way to escape, less than 200 meters away from the imperial infantry camp.

After five soldiers in a row were injured by anti-infantry mines, the Japanese second lieutenant who led the team finally realized the problem, but it was already too late!

Darkness has become a fatal protective color!

No one knows whether they will step on or trip over those terrible things that can send themselves and their comrades to the sky when they move.

Turning on the flashlight is even more like seeking death!

That terrifying machine gun in the distance uses bright light as a guide and pours out ammunition wantonly!

More than a hundred Japanese infantrymen could only wait in place, waiting for daybreak before leaving cautiously!

But the battlefield is so cruel, how difficult it is to see the sun tomorrow!

At the dawn of dawn, three 60mm mortars were flying towards us like raindrops of shells.

The stunned Japanese infantrymen burst into tears!

There is no more evil, only the most evil. Stepping into the minefield laid by the Chinese overnight was already very exciting, but the real feast began.

In the end, less than 30 Japanese troops survived!

A night attack and counterattack caused more than 100 Japanese casualties!

Of the 8 people in the 4th squadron, three were scratched by rocks. If we have to talk about the cost, it is the consumption of more ammunition. As a result, the ammunition consumption of 209.1 Highland is greater than the ammunition consumption of the highland where the platoon headquarters is located.

Class 4 was awarded a commendation by the regiment headquarters, and the whole class received first-class collective military merit once!

This battle example was included in the actual combat textbook of the teaching brigade after the war!
