Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 1224

The huge sound of the 280MM howitzer firing spread out at least 1,500 meters in the silent night!

Even the huge explosion coming from several miles away could not cover it up.

The Japanese army closest to the Dashi Village Fort happens to be the 6th Infantry Regiment that has become a defeated force. This unit is stationed only 800 meters away from the Dashi Village Fort.

After hearing the strange noise, Katayama Satoshi instinctively chose to call the Oishi Village Fort, but the pure Japanese voice on the other end of the phone temporarily dispelled his doubts.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that Katayama Satoru, who was thinking more and more wrong, called Oishi Village Fort again, but this time there was complete silence.

Lieutenant Colonel Katayama Satoshi finally realized that there might be something wrong with the Oishi Village Fort. In anger, he personally led two infantry squadrons to rush to the aid of the fort.

The first thing the Japanese troops felt after arriving at the fort was darkness, a deathly silent darkness!

When the flashlight was turned on and the snow-white light illuminated the dark circular position outside the Dashi Village fort, the Japanese were stunned.

In the field trenches of the outer positions, corpses can be seen everywhere. Most of the Japanese army were killed by an extremely weird weapon. The huge wounds shed a lot of blood, causing the area to be filled with a disgusting smell of blood. .

There was no need to even enter the airtight core fort surrounded by sandbag fortifications in the center of the circular position. A scene had already appeared in Katayama's mind: the Chinese used the darkness to cross the river and then quietly attacked the fort. After killing everyone, he had the audacity to use this huge cannon to bombard another heavy artillery position several miles away!

As for how they managed to massacre dozens of people silently, how they knew how to use this huge cannon, and how they obtained the specific coordinates of the imperial heavy artillery position, all of this can only be obtained by catching the Chinese who were fleeing frantically. explain.

The Chinese on the opposite side turned out to be such a tough nut to crack. Thinking of yesterday morning's disastrous defeat, the shadow of failure once again enveloped the Japanese army lieutenant colonel who stood stunned on the spot.

Even the fort that originally belonged to the empire looked like a ferocious devil in the darkness, looking down at the Japanese commander who had been scolded by Susumu Fujita for half an hour.

“Lieutenant Shinoda, please take someone to see if there are any remaining personnel of our unit in the fort, or if there are any traces left by the Chinese!” Katayama Satoshi stood on the edge of the trench and ordered calmly.

"Also, we must be careful. This incoming Chinese is different from the ones we encountered before. They are more vicious and cunning!"

“Hi!” A Japanese captain nodded vigorously and accepted the order.

With a wave of his hand, a Japanese team entered the fort with a flashlight before him. A few minutes later, when the fort shouted that it was safe, the Japanese army captain led another small team into the fort.

Satoshi Katayama, who was standing 150 meters away, was stroking his sword and looking at the fort with cold eyes. No one knew what the army lieutenant colonel was thinking.

“No, please notify Captain Shinoda quickly. There is fraud!” After Katayama's heart palpitated for no reason, he immediately turned around and ordered another Japanese captain standing next to him.

The original intention of the Chinese to attack the Dashi Village Fort at night was not to use the fort's heavy artillery to bombard another heavy artillery position. This heavy artillery that can destroy everything should be their target. But why is this heavy artillery still intact? ?

Temporary safety may be the greatest insecurity.

The Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel's mind was definitely not weak, and he actually judged that something was wrong based on the nature of the attack.

　　It's just that it was too late for him to wake up.

Before he could finish his words, a creepy spark flashed in the night sky, followed by a loud noise that could make everyone present deaf!

The tall fortifications outside the fort collapsed like building blocks, and scorching heat waves and huge shock waves swept around.

Satoshi Katayama, who was looking back, happened to see all this, and the fireworks formed by a violent explosion gradually occupied his pupils.

If nothing unexpected happens, the energy of such a huge shock wave will kill the Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel on the spot, even if it is 150 meters away.

Fortunately, he has a relatively loyal and responsive subordinate, and he is in a good position!

A Japanese second lieutenant team leader was standing in front of Katayama Satoshi. At the moment of the explosion, the panicked second lieutenant instinctively stepped back, knocking down the horrified Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel and falling into the trench!

Satoshi Katayama was able to escape!

And the second lieutenant was hit by the shock wave. Like many Japanese soldiers who had no time to react, he was like being hit by a sledgehammer and danced into the darkness!

I don't know how long it took. The Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel shook his head dizzy from the huge roar. He stood up from the trench and looked around blankly, almost crying.

It's so miserable. He has been in the army for 18 years and has never fought such a miserable battle!

Yesterday morning, he lost more than 1,000 people, but that was after all the result of a forceful attack across the Yellow River's natural moat. The Chinese on the other side used thousands of people and an unknown number of artillery and heavy machine guns.

But this wave, not a single Chinese person saw it! His two infantry squadrons were barely alive, and more than 300 troops were wiped out in almost an instant.

At a scene where only painful moans could be heard, there was almost no need for the experienced Japanese army lieutenant colonel to take a careful inventory.

At that moment, Katayama Satoru wished that he was not so wise!

But unfortunately, his judgment was very accurate.

After counting, it was found that in the two infantry squadrons that followed him, 123 people, including the two captains, were killed on the spot and 146 were seriously injured in the big explosion. Minor injuries do not need to be counted. , because no one is without injuries.

That was the explosion caused by the remaining five 200-kilogram shells in the fort with 50 kilograms of explosives used as fuses to detonate. It wiped out Katayama Satoshi and his two infantry squadrons without a single wave. It was considered the appearance of Amaterasu.

The reason why it was detonated only after the Japanese troops came in to inspect and sent out a safety signal was not that Tang Tuanzuo made a remote-controlled bomb, but a small mechanism that delayed the explosion.

In fact, from the moment the Japanese army entered the fort, because the mechanism was triggered, the delayed explosive device hidden in the dark had already entered a countdown.

In order to make the Japanese army lose their vigilance and kill more Japanese soldiers, Tang Dao took the risk and extended the detonation time to five minutes.

Of course, in addition to killing a large number of Japanese troops, this was also to create more space and time for themselves to evacuate.

　　At least the unlucky kid who was chasing him was completely disabled by the bombing. If he wanted to take revenge, he would have to change the group of people again.

"Baga! Mobilize the army to strictly guard ten kilometers, no, fifteen kilometers of river bank, suspend the attack on the other bank, and mobilize enough troops to track them. I will hang these rats on the river bank." Fujita received the news. Blood rushed to his head instantly, and he even hesitated to suspend the attack on Tongguan.

I can't blame Susumu Fujita for smashing everything he could in his headquarters like a lunatic. It's really the Chinese who are so bullying. They actually dared to destroy two of his artillery positions under the nose of an army of 20,000 people, and even killed them with their hands. More than 400 infantrymen were recruited.

The reason why it is said to be more than 400 is because the bodies of the last 50 people from the Dashi Village Fort were found on a mountain road five miles away from the Dashi Village Fort.

Even though this battlefield, which was mainly made of firearms, was far less horrific than the **** and **** explosion scene formed by the fort, it was even more tragic.

The Japanese troops who returned from the "hunt" happily carrying their pigs and sheep were so lax. They had to use flashlights and sing songs loudly while walking at night. The Chinese did not need to conduct reconnaissance at all, and could wait for them on the battlefield that had already been selected.

The concentrated fire of a large number of submachine guns and shell guns was simply not something that a bolt-action rifle could withstand. The bullet marks left on the tree trunks and rock walls were basically certain that at least thousands of bullets were poured on this trail.

Suppressed by the bullet stream and grenades were constantly being thrown from high above, the more than 20 pure infantrymen were unable to protect the remaining 20 or so pitiful technical soldiers.

It should have been less than five minutes of resistance that the defensive formation of this 50-man army column collapsed.

This is the beginning of the real tragedy. All the soldiers who lost their fighting spirit and tried to escape were attacked by Chinese cold weapon masters in the dark night in the mountains and forests. The wounds caused by the terrible cold weapons were like being bitten by a saber-toothed tiger. Several rifles were Cut it with one knife.

Having a rifle chopped off makes one's heart palpitate, but being cut off from the waist is really terrifying. Some people even waited until the search and rescue personnel arrived before they completely died. It was obvious that their internal organs had fallen from the abdominal cavity, and their gray pupils were no longer alive. , but the desire for life in his eyes is still burning, making those who look at him feel numb!

At least three people were killed on the order of the commander of the search team. The look in their eyes that could never survive but was full of longing for life was really frightening.

　　Not all Japanese are worthy of Mingxin using his heavy sword, which he rarely leaves his body, but this group of Japanese soldiers made Mingxin extremely rare and murderous!

The burning village in the mountains illuminated Mingxin's eyes, but what really made his eyes red was the blood!

Out of the nearly 100 people in the village, old and young, only one child survived after being crushed by the corpses of his parents. The rest fell on the small rice field at the entrance of the village and on the paths in the village that they were very familiar with. The reason why the Japanese army went on a killing spree was that the Japanese soldiers dragged the girl out from the crowd, but the girl's parents stopped her and bit the arm of the Japanese soldier who raped her.

The devil's carnival lasted from 8 pm to 12 pm. The Japanese soldiers who had lost their humanity even roasted mutton next to the remains of more than a dozen villagers, and left after eating until their mouths were full of oil.

This is also the reason why they came home late.

Mingxin learned from the guide that the Japanese army must pass through, and ordered two guard squads to use submachine guns and shell guns to focus fire on them from above, while he drew his heavy sword and stood guard in the forest, waiting for the defeated Japanese army to arrive in the forest.

It's not an attack, it's a violent killing!

China's top martial arts master is an existence even more ferocious than a tiger in this dense forest shrouded in darkness.

The heavy sword did not break armor, but only split the flesh. As many as 13 Japanese soldiers were chopped in half and split into half their bodies.

Mingxin was like a wolf that broke into the sheepfold. He just cruelly tore open the throat of his prey and ignored it. This created the most terrifying battlefield in the history of the formation of the Third Division.

Of the 50 killed, only the number was recorded in the battle report without any details. It was not until decades later that a private in the infantry squadron who survived until the war disclosed the tragic situation.

The Japanese army mobilized a full 8,000 people that night to participate in the roundup of the attackers, and 4,000 people searched the river bank. Finally, before dawn, three sheepskin rafts were found in a hidden part of the river, completely cutting off the retreat of the army crossing the river.

Another 4,000 people were organized as infantry squadrons, and 16 wolves and green dogs were mobilized to participate in the hunt. They conducted a dragnet search. Finally, when the sun rose, they found the clues left by the attackers in the mountains.

Three infantry brigades plus 1,000 people drawn from baggage trains, cavalry, and engineers formed a huge encirclement net. As long as you were patient enough, it was almost impossible for the fish to escape.

Dong Zhao and the Major General Brigadier, who had been waiting all night for Tang Dao's return, were also very anxious. Even though they had blown up the Japanese heavy artillery fort, they ended up breaking Tang Dao, the famous heroic commander on the North China battlefield. , that is also a loss-making business.

"Please rest assured, two officers. No matter how many sheep chase wolves, they can only eat the green grass nourished by wolf excrement! We will return within half a month!" The telegram Tang Dao sent back at dawn almost killed the two generals. Laughed angrily.

When did Japan's ferocious wolf turn into a sheep?

Even if it is really a sheep, it is only 20,000 small sheep. Just stepping on it can trample Tang Dao, a real 'wolf', into a pulp!

But what the Chinese commanders didn't expect was that Tang Dao, who fled into the mountains, and his 60 Chinese soldiers actually fought an unprecedented 'special operation'!

The Japanese never thought that the big net they spent thousands of people setting up might be a fish, but the fish might also be called a crocodile.

The first to suffer were the Japanese troops who participated in the hunt.

They may not have thought that some traces were left intentionally, including some blue cloth stained with blood.

Not to mention the wolf blue dog with a keen sense of smell, even if it is a real wild wolf, Long Yan has rich experience in dealing with them!

From the very beginning, the infantry squadron that thought they had found the right direction ran straight into the battlefield arranged for them by Tang Dao.

The 10 engineers never thought that explosives could be used in this way!

The air waves from the explosion of bombs placed on the side of the road can not only tear apart the human body, but also knock people off cliffs several meters high. Infantrymen who instinctively lie down and quickly roll to avoid can hit the seemingly random grass on the roadside. of booby traps.

Just one series of explosions killed nearly 30 Japanese soldiers in the infantry squadron, but this was just the beginning of the tragedy.

The super sniper located on another mountainside makes people feel what it means to be truly desperate!

He relied on an inconspicuous bolt-action rifle to kill one by one from a distance of 500 meters. Any Japanese soldiers exposed to his sight would die.

It wasn't until 16 people were shot and killed in succession that the Japanese army finally determined the approximate location of the sniper. However, the only grenade shooter who could pose a threat to them had already been killed by snipers. They could only watch the killers in the distance shoot one after another. Harvesting any comrades who dare to expose their bodies.

One man and one gun, relying on distance and incredible shooting accuracy, not only suppressed an infantry squadron for 25 minutes, but even killed 28 of them. If you add in the previous use of crude weapons The explosive device killed more than 20 people and an infantry squad was completely wiped out.

When another infantry squadron came panting from another mountain ridge for reinforcements, and tried to outflank the cold gunmen hiding in the mountain, Tang Dao had already slipped away like a fox that smelled danger.

In the next few days, it seemed that I could catch up with my opponent every time. I could even see the backs of the Chinese on the mountains several times, but I couldn't catch up. I was even attacked by the ferocious Chinese with endless bombs. One mouthful.

You can slow down your pursuit and pay attention to the roadside and your feet, but can you always stare at the shade of the trees above your head and the cliffs you pass by?

No one can do it, so they quack!

The Chinese even frantically placed artificial explosives in an area on the hillside, artificially creating a mountain avalanche that almost buried an entire infantry squadron.

What they were chasing was not a wolf, but a poisonous snake that was even more sinister and vicious than the wolf.

It can only be said that the Japanese are indeed a nation with strong execution ability. Before receiving the military order to stop the search, no matter how much losses Tang Dao brought to them with his engineers and guard platoon officers and soldiers, thousands of Japanese troops still slept in the open and persevered.

They seem to have forgotten that in five days, they lost more than 300 soldiers, and their battle losses were nearly one-tenth.

At this rate, Tang Dao and his roughly one infantry platoon of Chinese soldiers, even with three heads and six arms, would sooner or later be surrounded and annihilated.

Unfortunately, this is the remnant of Zhongtiao Mountain. In addition to the Japanese troops, there are also more Chinese troops.

The Japanese army knew that they were just pursuing them, but Commander Zeng of the Chinese Third Army, who was dozens of miles away, did not know that.

On the second day after the Japanese army entered the mountain, he received news of the Japanese army's unusual movements. Thousands of Japanese troops entered the mountain in large numbers, which shocked the lieutenant general who commanded more than 30,000 Central Army troops.

Although the main force of the Japanese army was still there to suppress it, it would be extremely fatal if the third division attacked the flank. So he gritted his teeth and mobilized a regiment plus an infantry brigade of his own as a reserve. A total of more than 6,000 people entered the mountain to stop the Japanese army.

Then, on the fifth day, the two groups of people met like this in the mountains.

One is prepared, the other is caught off guard.

What's even more terrible is that because the Japanese army was not going to fight in the field, they did not bring heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns and infantry artillery.

If it were purely about light firepower, the Chinese soldiers would really not be inferior to the Japanese army, let alone the fact that they also brought mortars and heavy machine guns.

In just half a day, more than 3,000 Japanese troops were beaten to a pulp. If Japanese planes had not heard the news and came to help, not to mention that they could have successfully escaped from the battlefield, they might have been beaten by the crazy Chinese soldiers. A meat bun.

The Japanese army had no choice but to retreat.

Five days of manhunt, not even a single human hair was caught, and more than 700 people were lost, nearly 20% of the battle losses, it was like fighting a big battle.

However, Tang Tuanzuo, who had been chased for five days, was not someone to be bullied.

After spending most of the day watching the fight between tigers and tigers, he suddenly turned around and led some 60 people to chase the Japanese back to Fenglingdu.
