Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 1137

Chapter 1137 Current Situation!

The collision between the Sixth Regiment and the 21st Division on the Niangziguan defense line is destined to be tragic!

Although the Fourth Line Regiment only has more than 8,000 troops, it needs to defend the frontal defense lines of all friendly forces. Once it is broken, more than 70,000 Chinese soldiers will be doomed!

Just like Tang Dao must believe that the other five infantry divisions can block their direct enemy, his friendly forces must and can only believe that the Four Lines Regiment can block this aggressive Japanese B Division.

The 21st Division is also unlikely to give up easily. They first sacrificed their own division commander to heaven and roasted all the generals of the 21st Division on the fire. Apart from victory, they have no way out, otherwise they will bear the responsibility of their family. Those who were honored just went home with their faces covered in papa.

Neither side can retreat, so they can only fight until the sky is dark and the ground is dark, with **** heads and heads!

The brutal battle for Highland 209.1 was just a microcosm of the entire Niangziguan battlefield. In fact, in the entire highland flanking Niangziguan, driven by Hengshanze's brutal force, the entire 62nd Infantry Regiment suffered as many as 1,100 casualties in just one and a half days. Compared to the 4,400 troops under his command, the casualty rate was as high as 25%, which was even higher than the casualty rate of the 8,000 troops invested by the two infantry regiments in the main position.

Even Nagano Kameichiro couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this casualty number. If the fight continues like this, the entire 21st Division will be wiped out in less than five days.

Of course, although the high casualty rate of the Japanese army did not conquer the highlands and positions controlled by the Fourth Army Regiment, it also brought unprecedented casualties to the Fourth Army Regiment.

On the 3rd Battalion, in this unprecedented **** battle on the morning of September 9th and 10th, 89 officers and soldiers were killed and 132 were seriously injured. The entire battalion lost more than 200 people, and almost half of the infantry company was lost.

If the fight continues at this rate, within five days, the third battalion will be wiped out!

Of course, the premise is that the 62nd Infantry Regiment can continue to receive fresh blood. Otherwise, at Hengshanze's consumption rate, in just another day and a half, the three infantry brigades under his command will have no soldiers available.

Since the start of the entire Niangziguan battlefield, the total casualties of the Fourth Army Regiment have not exceeded 600, and the Third Battalion has accounted for half of them. This also shows the ferocity of Hengshanze.

Tang Dao has set the 62nd Infantry Regiment on the flank as a must-kill target!

At Fululing, another important line of defense guarding the flanks of the Niangziguan defense line 8 kilometers away, the 17th Division was already engaged in a fierce battle with the 39th Infantry Brigade of the 20th Division.

　　A **** battle was fought in the Snowflake Mountain Highlands that stunned both China and Japan!

The most tragic scene that Sanying Leng Feng ever imagined became a real event in Snowflake Mountain!

After finding that the Japanese heavy artillery and infantry offensive could not be stopped, the colonel commander of the 102nd Regiment of the 17th Division stationed in Snowflake Mountain directly began to fight for his life!

You know, it was only half a day after the war started, and an infantry regiment of more than 2,000 people started to risk their lives.

The death-defying method is very simple. You are a mountain cannon and a heavy artilleryman. I can't hold the high ground! Then I'll give it to you and ask if you want it?

If the infantry is needed, then I will ask for artillery fire coverage, and then when the artillery fire coverage occurs, the infantry reinforcements will go up to the high ground and reoccupy the high ground.

To put it bluntly, it's exchange!

Your heavy artillery has destroyed everything on the high ground. The fortifications no longer exist, and life no longer exists. So what can your infantry use to hide from the mountain artillery of my 17th Division?

Fight with your head!

The 17th Division now has more than 16 mountain guns, 24 82 mortars, and 8 Type 92 infantry guns. Although this firepower cannot match the 24 mountain guns and 12 105 howitzers commanded by the 39 Infantry Brigade, it can be assembled Concentrating fire with more than 10 mountain guns to attack a high ground is not the same as playing.

A high ground, under such tactics, the two sides changed hands up to 8 times in one day, which also meant that the infantry of both sides on the high ground became cannon fodder under the artillery fire from both sides.

That is the real cannon fodder!

The battle history of the 17th Division is clearly recorded. On Highland 6, 600 meters away from the main peak of Snowflake Mountain alone, 268 officers and soldiers were killed and no one was injured!

Even if they entered the battlefield at the infantry platoon level, almost the entire army was wiped out. Four of the nine infantry companies under the 102nd Regiment suffered a battle loss rate of more than 80% in this brutal battle.

Under such a tactics, the Japanese army suffered equally, and were equally helpless in the face of this pure exchange style of play.

After suffering more than 700 casualties, they actually captured less than 3 highlands. The main peak of Snowflake Mountain and several other highlands are still firmly in the hands of the Chinese army. If this casualty rate is followed, even if they eventually occupy the entire Snowflake Mountain highlands , then they need to spend at least two infantry brigades.

Just thinking about this number of casualties makes Yoshito Takagi, the major general commander of the infantry brigade at the time, feel chills all over his body.

This made him start to really pay attention to the opponent in front of him who he once thought was vulnerable. But this kind of vigilance came too late, or even if he paid attention to it, it would not have much effect unless he delayed time and waited until the 17th Division ran out of ammunition and food. Absolutely, otherwise this cruel attack and defense will happen again.

What this northwest army lacked was never tenacity, but only artillery capable of counterattack. Tang Dao tried his best to make up for this shortcoming.

Although you still can't give your own infantry enough protection, you can give the Japanese infantry a good beating, and that's enough.

The 102nd Regiment suffered nearly 500 casualties in two days, accounting for a quarter of the entire infantry regiment. However, the number of Japanese killed was still higher than this number. This was an inspiration to the officers and soldiers of the 102nd Regiment.

It turns out that the so-called Class A divisions are just like this. The tactics are simple and stereotyped. They just finish the artillery bombardment and the infantry charge. If the infantry can't charge, they will continue the artillery bombardment.

This time, Snowflake Mountain is no longer just blue all over the ground, the 'shit yellow' that can be seen everywhere is also a scenery on the highlands.

Especially on the high ground that the two sides have repeatedly fought for 8 times, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. As soon as they enter the position, the smell of blood is like entering a slaughterhouse, which makes even the toughest soldiers unable to bear it. He covered his mouth and nose with a towel.

There is almost no place to stay in the entire position, and there are **** and broken limbs everywhere!

Because of the emergency situation of the war, China and Japan could only do their best to take away the wounded soldiers, and the remains of the war dead could only be left on the battlefield.

Then, artillery fire from both sides alternately poured down on the high ground that had been lowered by 10 centimeters. Over the course of a day, the remains of nearly 600 soldiers from both sides who died on this high ground almost covered the entire position.

Moreover, by this time, after a large number of remains were burned at high temperatures, no one could tell who was Chinese and who was Japanese. So at night, the Japanese army raised a white flag and sent a second lieutenant over to negotiate, not with regard to the outcome of the entire battlefield, but to collect the corpses.

After this battle, 308 people from an infantry brigade that mainly attacked the highlands were missing. This forced the army commanders of the infantry brigade to lower their proud heads and pretended not to see the infantry brigade's major and captain sending people to negotiate.

Originally, the 3rd Battalion of the 102nd Regiment in charge of the highland did not want to agree, but there were too many stumps and leftover bodies on the position, and they were fine for a day or two. Over time, they would rot and easily breed germs, and they would find their comrades to bury them. , but where is there any extra energy to take care of the Japanese?

Secondly, the Japanese made an offer that was difficult to refuse. They were willing to return the remains and equipment of the 17th Division's top reconnaissance soldiers killed in previous reconnaissance operations.

After asking for instructions at all levels, an order came from the division headquarters, which was only 1,200 meters away from this highland: It was agreed that a Japanese medical team without weapons would come to collect the corpses, and the division headquarters field hospital would also send corresponding personnel to transport the remains of the officers and soldiers who died during the day. !

So, on this bright moonlit night, the most bizarre scene on the battlefield occurred on the high ground of Snowflake Mountain.

A team of 40 people in khaki and a team of 60 people in dark blue actually passed each other on the same position. They were originally two people who were supposed to fight to the death, but miraculously they seemed not to see each other and just focused on each other. He immersed himself in the search and screening on the battlefield.

But this tranquility did not last long. The two sides eventually had a dispute over the identification of remains that were difficult to distinguish.

The Chinese do not want their comrades to be taken far away to island countries, and the Japanese do not want their own comrades to be left in distant China.

Don't tell me, although they were surrounded by Chinese soldiers who were armed and ready, the attitude of the Japanese was still very tough. Jiliwala insisted on his own judgment, even though the half of the human leg was actually **** and burned by the high temperature until it was charred black. There are no obvious Chinese or Japanese characteristics, but the Japanese have one judgment. The fat on this stump is obviously thicker, which is definitely not something that Chinese people who can't even eat enough can have.

This reason made a captain in charge of the company very angry. The 17th Division had already started eating for the past two months. Not to mention the long-term supply of meat, white flour and rice were enough.

He immediately waved his gun and said: "This is the territory of my 17th Division. If I say it's not true, it's not true. If you keep beeping, get out of here. If you have the ability, you can capture the position tomorrow. You have the final say on this position."

　　After saying this, the tough-minded Japanese Army second lieutenant finally stopped!

But in the face of this situation, the 17th Division actually had little choice. They could only use stretchers to collect the remains of their own officers and soldiers that they could distinguish and carry them to the rear. That was the strict order from the division commander Zhao Shoushan. This time, even if all the 17th Division Soldiers died here in battle, he must also bury his soldiers in the soil, and cannot expose their bodies to the wilderness like last time!

As for the remaining ones that were indistinguishable, the captain and company commander thought of a move and dug a big hole behind the high ground on the spot and buried them all here. Although there might be Japanese people inside, he couldn't care less.

And this high and raised tomb was still preserved until the decades after the Battle of Snowflake Mountain. Because it was very likely that Chinese and Japanese soldiers were mixed together, this tomb had no name. It was only decorated by Commander Zhao Shoushan after the war. A monument of writing - Blood Flower Mountain!

Yes, this is a mountain that has been stained red by the blood of both the enemy and ourselves. From now on, there will only be blood flowers, not snowflakes!

It will also be interesting for people from eastern Jin Dynasty to come here to pay homage in the future. The other tombs where Chinese soldiers are buried are filled with incense, spirits, and cigarettes. However, only in front of this tomb is a ditch naturally washed out by rain. One side of the ditch is There are incense, spirits, cigarettes, and even tanks, cannons, and machine guns made of mud. But the other side is empty and deserted.

The original words of the locals in Nafaluziling: The naturally formed ditch is the trench. Our soldiers told us that they were still fighting the Japanese devils underground! We must support them no matter what!

As for the 921st Division and the 104th Division, regardless of the fact that they were facing the 18th Division and the 1st Division of the 20th Division, they faced more than 30,000 Japanese troops, which was the direction with the largest strength of the Japanese army. However, the 921st Division had captured a large number of Railway rails and sleepers forced the 18th Division, armed with carbine rifles, to get off the train and march on foot as soon as they arrived outside HD City.

When the 18th Division arrived at the 921st Division's defense line in the mountainous area, the Chinese and Japanese sides on the remaining two defense lines were already fighting in full swing.

However, the Japanese army arrived slowly, and the 921st Division and the 104th Division had more time to dig fortifications. The large number of rails and sleepers carried by the railway came in handy at this time, and a large number of anti-gun holes and reverse **** tunnels were provided. Maximum protection for the officers and soldiers of the two infantry divisions.

The eight 105 howitzers of the 18th Division did not inflict heavy damage on the two infantry divisions as expected. Instead, they resisted the 40th Infantry Brigade of the 20th Division because the infantry brigade only carried an artillery brigade of 12 guns and four guns. The Type 1 mountain artillery was outgunned by the 683rd Brigade in terms of heavy firepower. It almost made the then major general brigade commander of the 40th Infantry Brigade of the 20th Division doubt his life.

　　Why is the promised 'Tubal Road' more exaggerated than the legendary German Mechanic? Not to mention the 70mm infantry cannon of the Empire of Japan, there are also 20mm machine guns, 75mm mountain cannons, and what's even more outrageous is that there are even 150mm heavy guns!

Brigadier Cheng Da's tactics of using troops were completely ruined. He first showed the enemy weakness and lost three positions in a row. After seeing that the morale of the 40th Infantry Brigade was high, in addition to having more infantry, its artillery support was not as strong as expected. , directly sacrificed Tang Dao and gave it to the 683 brigade's 6 150 heavy guns that it had been hiding. In addition, it also requested fire support from the artillery battalion of the division headquarters, and directly bombed the troops occupying its own trap-like position with a wild bombing. Hundreds of Japanese infantrymen were sent away in waves.

That's a really good guy. The 683rd Brigade swore across the Yellow River, fought dozens of battles, large and small, and annihilated thousands of Japanese troops. But it took a whole year to achieve the results, and it also cost three to four thousand casualties of officers and soldiers. , there were even many veterans who had experienced large-scale transfers of thousands of miles, but with this single firepower output, at least 500 Japanese troops were killed.

If the battle lasts for a week, how many enemies will be killed?

The 40th Infantry Brigade was stunned by such a blow to the head. The subsequent attack no longer had the same vigor as before, and was even worse than the 21st Division, which they looked down upon.

This is the bad nature of the island people. When they meet someone weaker than themselves, they will be more ruthless than jackals, tigers and leopards. But once they are sure that the opponent is stronger than themselves, they want to kneel down and call daddy!

The same goes for the 18th Division. The artillery bombarded them, the planes laid eggs, and the infantry rushed forward, but the Chinese were like invincible Xiaoqiang, emerging from the position again, with light machine guns and heavy machine guns. There is no shortage. If you have grenades here, others over there also have them. If you have infantry artillery here, they will use mortars over there.

Moreover, the condescending geographical advantage is really a headache. The Japanese infantry rushed to a distance of 50 meters to throw grenades, which were at least 20 meters away from the trenches, but the long-handled grenades thrown from the trenches could be thrown solidly. In the attack queue.

The two largest Japanese armies fought painfully and helplessly!

On the contrary, despite the fact that the strength of the two Chinese infantry divisions in the Yangquan direction was twice that of the temporarily formed detachment of the Fifth Division, their heavy firepower was far inferior to that of their opponents. However, the battle was extremely difficult. They lost 5 high ground in two days and suffered casualties. Nearly 2,000 people.

Fortunately, the most important thing in the mountains of eastern Shanxi is mountains. The two lieutenant generals and division commanders quickly established a third line of defense, which was still able to block the Japanese attack.

So, the current battle situation is that China and Japan are involved in a **** battle in the Niangziguan direction, the HD Xingtai direction is fighting fiercely, and the Yangquan direction is struggling to hold on. It depends on whether the Chinese and Japanese armies can hold back first.

But no one expected that the most brutal battle would not take place on the battlefield in eastern Shanxi, but in the town of Dakouzidong, two hundred kilometers away.

The two infantry regiments of the 108th Division, plus various auxiliary arms, with a total strength of 8,000 troops, rushed towards the Sixings Regiment's garrison.

As for the remaining army of the Four Lines Regiment, there is only a newly established infantry battalion that is no more than a month old and an arsenal composed mainly of skilled workers!

The famous Battle of Qingshiyan begins!

ps: Fengyue has been running outside for the past two days, so she has very little time to code. Fengyue can only use a little time to code when she gets up in the morning and returns to the hotel at night. The update is a little unstable. Please forgive me. Fengyue also I can only promise to update as much as possible until Fengyue returns in early July. Please forgive me!
