Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 1131

“The time has come for the Imperial warriors of the 62nd Infantry Regiment to show their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.”

Standing in front of three infantry squadrons with white cloths wrapped across their chests, Yokoyama Sawa stood solemnly at attention with a sinewy face, and his back faced the east, which is the direction of the island's imperial palace.

Get down on your knees!

Nearly 600 Japanese infantrymen with stiff expressions followed their army commander, all faced the direction of the palace, and knelt on their knees!

Before the war, the ceremony of bidding farewell to His Majesty the Emperor was used in the history of the Japanese Army when Nogi Nogi Nogi organized 6,000 death squads during the Russo-Japanese War.

But now, it is used by Hengshan Ze on a small unknown highland.

“May the empire be prosperous in military affairs!” After bowing in the direction of the imperial palace, the Japanese Army Colonel slowly stood up, glanced at the 600 infantrymen in front of him, and suddenly drew out his command sword and roared angrily.

“Empire, the military fortune is prosperous!” The Japanese infantrymen, stimulated by their captains, could not help but raise their rifles high.

"Yo Xi! Gentlemen, please go! I leave the battlefield to you! This battle will be defeated!" Hengshan Ze nodded fiercely.

The Japanese troops lined up, their heavy military boots taking heart-shaking steps, and headed out of the valley. The hill 800 meters ahead was the target of their 600 men.

This time, with the exception of a baggage squadron and an engineering squadron serving as reserves for them, Yokoyama Sawa almost put all the regular infantry in hand into the battlefield at once, led by Major Iita Taka, the senior staff officer of the wing headquarters.

“In the morning light, I saw rows of warriors in full military uniforms running towards the enemy's formation in the morning glow. Colonel Yokoyama Sawa held his saber horizontally and lowered his head to respectfully send his warriors off to the battlefield!

The imperial warriors with their heads held high and the commander with firm eyes formed a magnificent picture in the twilight, which will stay in my memory forever!

Our clan, with such a group of warriors, how can we not have a prosperous military fortune as they shouted? "

This is a passage written this morning by the "Asahi Shimbun" military reporter who was sent to the 62nd Infantry Regiment by Nagano Kameichiro overnight.

He seemed to have completely forgotten that before dawn, due to the night attack by Chinese soldiers, dozens of corpses were covered with white cloth and temporarily parked in the mountain forest. The miserable howls of dozens of seriously injured soldiers made the night birds afraid to return to their nests!

He even seemed to have forgotten that on the hill in front of him, which was no more than 200 meters high, after fighting day and night, the Japanese Army Colonel with a fierce look on his face suffered more than 300 casualties. Not counting today, the current battle losses Compared with that, a new record has been created on the Sino-Japanese battlefield.

Battle damage ratio, 1:80!

However, no one will admit it, neither the Japanese nor the Chinese Military and Administrative Ministry.

For the former, even if you were beaten to death, you would not recognize it; for the latter, even if you were beaten to death, you would not believe it!

In fact, even Tang Dao was shocked when he received the battle results reported by Li Jiujin in the early morning, but considering that there was a BUFF bonus from the mountain artillery company, it was still acceptable.

Especially the tactic of Tu Yunsheng, the leader of the 4th Squadron, who carried out a decisive night attack and lured the Japanese troops into the minefield before using mortar bombardment.

"Instruct the entire regiment to mark the collective first-class military merits of the 3rd Battalion, 7th Company, 1st Platoon and 4th Class. In addition, we call on the entire regiment's officers and soldiers to learn from them!" Tang Dao also signed the second order after the start of the Niangziguan Battle in this morning light. Order of Commendation.

The first commendation order was naturally issued to the two scouts Shen Laoliu of the Reconnaissance Company. Shen Laoliu led a group of indigenous villagers with two people to completely wipe out a reinforced Japanese infantry squadron, creating a miracle in the history of war. , won a special personal meritorious service once!

Fortunately, Shen Laoliu survived. In order to prevent him from getting infected, the reconnaissance company asked the medical company to ask for three bottles of penicillin, which was more expensive than gold, to be sent to him. Under Tang Dao's instructions, the reconnaissance company asked the medical company to send him three bottles of penicillin. , selected 30 box guns, 10 submachine guns, 10,000 rounds of bullets, 500 grenades and 100 taels of gold and sent them to him.

And all the Japanese-style firearms and ammunition captured by the Japanese army were wiped out, and the Fourth Army Regiment was not required to do so and was left to their own disposal.

That almost means that as long as there are enough personnel, Yeyue Village can form a light infantry battalion by itself, which means it lacks heavy weapons. With the geographical advantage, a Japanese infantry squadron will not be incapable of fighting.

“Squad Leader Tu, brothers of Class 4, congratulations!” Guard squad leader Zhou Dapeng was filled with envy as he held the commendation order breathlessly delivered by the company's communications corpsman.

If the soldiers of Squad 4 were not afraid of alerting the Japanese army, they might not be able to help but raise their arms and shout at this time.

“Brother Peng, although my military exploits are good, I'm afraid I'll earn my life instead of spending my life!” Tu Yunsheng held a four-fold telescope specially applied for by Zhou Dapeng from the company headquarters, but his face was filled with a wry smile.

“What?” Zhou Dapeng was stunned and took the telescope handed over by Tu Yunsheng.

Then, he stood still on the spot.

In the field of vision of the telescope, one can see the shit-yellow figures of the Japanese soldiers in the mountains and fields, group after group, row after row.

"The Japanese are crazy! I heard at the main position that there were only one or two infantry squadrons charging. How could they engage in such a big battle in a small place like ours?" Zhou Dapeng could only cover it up with curses. My own shock.

“No, we have to ask the company headquarters for help and send at least two more squads, no, three squads!” Zhou Dapeng reacted quickly after scolding the Japanese and was about to call the signal corps.

"It's useless, Brother Peng! Believe it or not, today not only our place, but the Japanese army in other areas will definitely invest heavy troops. The company commander only has two squads now, and they can't just patronize our area." Although Tu Yunsheng is a very tall man. Young, but very independent, he shook his head slightly.

“Besides, before the Japanese army attacks, they will definitely cover our position with artillery fire. There are only two anti-gun holes in total. It is difficult to fit 30 of us. If other brothers come, where can we hide?”

"What should we do? There are so many little devils." Zhou Dapeng's face was full of bitterness.

What he just saw was no less than 300 Japanese troops, and there might be more behind them. Not to mention how powerful the Japanese troops were, this number alone made even him, a veteran of countless battlefields, feel frightened.

“Hit him first and then we'll talk, or we'll have to fight him like crazy!” Tu Yunsheng said with a murderous look on his face. "If the Japanese army's offensive is tough, then we will move the Japanese army closer and concentrate all the submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles in the first trench, and then the brothers in the second-line trench will drop bombs to suppress it! If the Japanese army can still rush into the trench, then we will only Able to engage in hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, leaving the signal troops to fire signal flares and request the company headquarters to find a mountain artillery battery to cover the hilltop position with artillery fire."

“Okay! I'll listen to you.” Zhou Dapeng's eyes were twitching wildly, but he could only grit his teeth and agree.

Now he finally knew why before entering the battlefield, the company commander Li Jijin specifically told him that after arriving at the 209.1 Highland, Tu Yunsheng, the squad leader of the 4th Squadron, was the first commander.

He is above Tu Yunsheng in both rank and qualifications, but his ruthlessness is really not as good as that of the infantry squad leader, who is half a year younger than him.

If this guy survives the war, he will definitely be promoted to sergeant, and he may even have a chance to become a second lieutenant platoon leader.

The Japanese artillery fire covering the high ground was much more terrifying than yesterday. It was 16 mountain guns plus 2 infantry guns and 2 mortars!

Of course, not only Highland 209.1, but also all positions of the 7th Company were a sea of fire.

The range of the 12 75mm mountain guns of a Japanese artillery brigade that moved 1,800 meters forward to the southwest was just enough to cover this area.

However, these were all within Li Jiujin's expectations. When the 7th Company built high-land artillery holes, they specifically studied the possible areas for Japanese artillery and built artillery holes in areas that could avoid the firing range of Japanese artillery.

An anti-gun cave made of sandbags and logs as the main materials may not be able to protect against 105 howitzers, but it can still protect against 75MM mountain artillery. Therefore, in the Japanese army's 20-minute artillery preparation, the casualties were not large.

But this time the Japanese army actually used infantry and artillery coordination. On the high ground of the entire seventh company, more than 1,000 Japanese troops braved the shells falling from time to time on the hillside to attack upwards.

Especially on Highland 209.1, the Japanese army actually deployed 4 waves, with a total of 300 infantry, densely packed like a swarm of locusts hiding in the smoke and attacking upward.

Amidst the harsh iron whistles, the soldiers who were sheltering from the artillery fire on the high ground of the Seventh Company rushed into the trenches at the risk of being hit by the artillery shells. The 60-man force groups in each platoon also risked being shattered to pieces and began to fire artillery support.

Because, in order to make it easier to retrieve the shells, the shell boxes were piled less than 15 meters away from the artillery team. Once detonated, no one could survive within a radius of 30 meters.

The three 80mm howitzers belonging to the third battalion also raised their muzzles and began to provide fire support to three important highlands of the 7th company.

For a time, Chinese mortars exploded on the hillside, and Japanese mountain artillery bombarded the mountaintop area. In the restricted area where no one should have been, the dark blue and khaki figures of Chinese and Japanese soldiers loomed in the smoke.

In front of Highland 209.1, when 30 soldiers rushed into their respective trenches, they could see that the nearest Japanese army was no more than a hundred meters away. It only took the fully armed Japanese army 20 seconds at most to rush into the position.

The soldiers could even clearly see the fierce gazes under the Japanese helmets. Although the Japanese artillery slowed down its rate of fire at this time, there were still a lot of shells falling on the position. Although the soldiers tried their best to hide their bodies in the trenches, there were still unfortunate soldiers who were hit by shrapnel or blown away by the shock wave because the shells fell too close.

The MG34 machine gun firepower group is located in a machine gun bunker built with great effort on the highlands. It is the most ferocious firepower on the entire highland and must not be lost easily.

But this also means that the machine gun has a lot of blind spots. Although the MG34 machine gun has begun to roar, the Japanese army quickly found an area to avoid the machine gun fire after paying more than a dozen casualties, and still surged forward in large numbers.

The Japanese light machine gunner lying 200 meters away also seemed to be desperate for his life. He set up his light machine gun and fired at the position. Unexpectedly, he did not just fire a bunch of bullets and then change places.

Even if three consecutive machine gun shooters were beaten into pieces by the MG34 heavy machine guns on the position, the remaining light machine guns were still roaring, causing a cloud of dust to rise on the already smoke-filled position.

Embarrassed by the gunfire on the position, the Japanese infantry took the opportunity to rush forward for more than 20 meters.

The roar of "Onboard!" almost drowned out the blazing sound of gunfire.

Obviously, the Japanese army was stimulated to death by their crazy commander.

However, it is not just them who are not afraid of death.

The soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment can also risk their lives.

Tu Yunsheng's eyes widened and he shouted angrily: “Damn it, shoot me and **** him like a bastard.”

After saying that, he put the MP28 submachine gun that had been hanging around his neck into the trench, pressed the **** of the gun firmly on his shoulder, tried his best to stabilize the muzzle of the gun that was about to jump due to continuous firing, and pulled the trigger crazily. shooting.

Even if a cannonball exploded more than 20 meters behind him, and his body trembled violently as mud and rocks rained down from the sky, it could not stop him from pulling the trigger.

Blood seeped out fiercely from his back through the military uniform.

A soldier who was only three or four meters away from him turned his head and saw the blood on Tu Yunsheng's back. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Squad leader, you are injured." He dropped his gun, took the first aid kit and leaned towards Tu Yunsheng. Rush over.

"Get out of here, I've been counting all the people who beat you! You idiot, you've only killed three of them so far, and you can't even feed the guests, so how can you treat them to a meal?" said the mad sergeant squad leader. With one kick, he knocked over the superior soldier who was running towards him. He stared at the battlefield without looking back and roared angrily.

“Squad leader!” The soldier looked at the blood flowing more and more behind Tu Yunsheng, and the black ash on his face was washed away by two traces of tears.

"What are you leaking cat urine? Get out of here. Get out of here." Tu Yunsheng's eyes were wider than ever before.

The soldier shed tears, rushed back to his fighting position, pulled the trigger, fired, and fired as hard as he could. The previous fear in the gunfire seemed to be completely forgotten at that moment.

This is the battlefield. If you don't fight hard, you will die. If you just bleed, then it's nothing!

The Japanese troops advanced under artillery fire.

Four lines of soldiers, firing under artillery fire.

Whether they were on or outside the position, soldiers continued to fall, some were shot down by guns, and some were swept down by the air waves of artillery fire.

This kind of tragedy, which was even beyond Li Jiujin's expectation, lasted for nearly ten minutes.

The two armies, already considered the most tenacious on the battlefield in Eastern Jin Dynasty, were competing to see who could be the first to be unable to withstand the casualties. Those who could not withstand the casualties had to retreat.

What kind of firepower and artillery fire are no longer the most important, what matters is the will.

When your comrades fall bleeding in front of you, you can still pick up your gun and shoot at your enemies until bullets or shell fragments flying from nowhere send you on the path to follow your comrades. This kind of rock-solid will cannot be cultivated through training, only the battlefield can give it.

The Japanese have been so stimulated by the bow of their captain that they have forgotten their fear of death!

Become a completely brainwashed tool!

The Chinese, however, are an iron army truly forged in the fierce flames of war.

It's not that I'm not afraid of death, but that if the country is destroyed and the mountains and rivers are around me, and my friends die by my side, I am willing to accompany them!

bring it on! Damn it, I'm not afraid of you!

“I don't want the number of casualties, what I want is the number of people who can still fight!” Li Jijin's words to the three infantry platoon leaders on the phone were as cold as an iceberg.

But only the signal soldiers at the company headquarters know what the real Company Commander Li looks like.

Li Jiujin put down the phone with red eyes, holding back the tears in his eyes, but he only requested artillery support from the battalion headquarters once and gritted his teeth without saying a word.

The Black Star pistol has already been inserted into the gun bag. If he didn't have to sit down and command, and the last two infantry squads had not been dispersed, he might have rushed to the front line.

Under the brutal attack of more than a thousand Japanese troops regardless of cost, in just 10 minutes, the three infantry platoons under his command lost nearly 60 people. One second lieutenant platoon leader was seriously injured, two sergeant squad leaders, and five deputy squad leaders died!

The losses in ten minutes of fighting actually exceeded the total of yesterday's day!

The stretcher bearers who were specially transferred to support the medical company of the third battalion became the busiest group of people on the battlefield besides the combat soldiers.

Their task is to carry down the fallen officers and soldiers down the mountain in the shortest possible time, whether they are sacrificed or injured.

Japanese artillery fire did not only kill and injure soldiers. Entering the position meant casualties. No less than 10 stretcher bearers wearing red cross armbands were thrown away by the artillery fire in the trenches.

But Da Ya, who was the captain of the flank medical rescue team this time, just wiped away her tears and continued to order the stretcher team behind the position to go up to the position.

The 'Guaiguai', who was already dripping with blood and even a piece of flesh was still hanging on the fat pig leg, was treated the same way!

No matter how popular it is, at this moment of war, the wild boar that has become a member of the military is also a warrior.

In this national war that is so long that no one can see the end, no one can be sacrificed.

No matter humans, animals, or once magnificent mountains and rivers!

5000 years of China, it can fail, it can sacrifice everything, but it cannot be conquered!

'Guaiguai' has now completely returned to its true nature as a wild boar. Covered in dust, it looks like it has just crawled out of a mud pond and been dried in the sun. It grins and keeps howling to relieve the pain. It is hanging on a stretcher truck, and the stretcher soldiers are loading the wounded people on it. Once it was released, several straps with hooks were used to secure the injured person. The guy was lame on one leg and used three legs to drag him up and run.

Not to mention that animals have a much stronger instinct for avoiding danger than humans. He obediently entered the position four times in a row and dragged away four bodies and injured people. He was unscathed, and his body strength was not compromised. One pig could beat two or three people. It was definitely The stretcher bearer who rescues the most wounded by a single soldier on the battlefield.

No wonder Da Ya, who was covered in blood and didn't know if it was her own blood or the blood of the wounded, also entered the battlefield personally and deliberately threw a few toffee she had saved as a reward for it.

“Huh! Huh!” Guaigui put the rewarded toffee in his mouth next to a young soldier he brought back.

The biological instinct makes it feel that its human friends should need this delicious food more.

"Guaiguai" imitated his boss's behavior and licked the young soldier's pale face with his tongue, trying to wake him up.

However, it didn't know that when it dragged the young soldier down the mountain, the shrapnel that penetrated the young soldier's heart had already taken away the young life.

Warmth cannot stop the coldness from coming!

Seeing this scene, a female nurse from Pingbeicheng couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears!

It turns out that this is what the battlefield really looks like.

But the cruel battle will not stop because of sadness!
