Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 1225

The next week or so may be the ten most difficult days for Susumu Fujita since he became the commander of the Third Division Lieutenant General.

The Chinese who had not yet been wiped out could not find a place to hide, and actually attacked the third division like maggots on the tarsus.

At first, they only used black guns to shoot at some field camps in the mountains at night. No matter how accurate the marksmanship was, they could only kill a few people. Later, the Japanese commanders at all levels, who could not bear the harassment, simply ordered a ban at night. Light a bonfire.

Even though fires are not allowed in such a cold winter, they can only rely on cotton-padded clothes and quilts to resist the cold wind, but compared with their own precious lives, the Japanese infantry can accept it.

Because the Chinese super sharpshooter hiding in the darkness of the mountains has no fixed target. Today the infantry regiment, tomorrow the artillery regiment, and the next day the cavalry regiment. The behemoth of the Third Division may be his target everywhere.

Such a level of harassment was not something Susumu Fujita paid attention to at first, and it did not hinder his plan to silently gather strength to prepare for a second forcible crossing of Tongguan.

Through the efforts of Susumu Fujita, Shiro Itagaki agreed to the plan to transport two gunboats from central China to the Tongguan theater.

Gunboats are not comparable to small boats such as motorboats. Gunboats weighing tens or even hundreds of tons not only have steel plate armor, but also a main gun and several 25mm machine guns, such as the Chinese 82mm. Unless the small-caliber mortar hits the hull of the ship with a high-density concentrated fire of more than ten consecutive rounds, there is nothing anyone can do against this steel behemoth.

With this kind of gunboat as fire cover, the success rate of forced crossing will be increased to 80%. The transportation department has specially built a special train to transport this kind of gunboat, and is working hard at night to transport the gunboat requested by the Third Division and the newly mobilized motorboat. Ship it here.

The Engineer Regiment is also rushing to build a new means of transportation on a starry night, a wooden platoon specially used to transport infantry across the river!

This kind of wooden raft adds a defensive roof. Four thick logs support a sufficiently solid wooden roof, and then two layers of sandbags are laid on it. At the same time, sandbags about half a meter high are piled around the raft.

Regardless of the huge increase in the load-bearing capacity of the wooden platoon, which could originally transport 20 fully armed soldiers, it was reduced to an infantry squad, but the protection was greatly increased. As long as it was not hit head-on by mortar shells, the Chinese relied on deploying a large number of heavy machine guns. The move 'Beyond Shooting' will be completely useless.

Such wooden rafts are simple in structure and easy to obtain materials. The Zhongtiao Mountain Remaining Mountains nearby are most in need of these. With the efficiency of manufacturing 15 wooden rafts a day, it will take less than 20 days to transport a fully armed raft. Infantry regiment.

January is the coldest time in winter, but according to Susumu Fujita, it is the best time to attack Tongguan. The cold weather is not only a huge test for the imperial infantry on the wooden rafts, but also for the Chinese who are staying in the cold trenches on the shore. The same goes for people.

The sub-zero weather made the soldiers' limbs stiff and their thinking seemed to be frozen and sluggish. Susumu Fujita not only believed that the various thermal equipment of the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Division under his command were far better than those of his opponents, but more importantly, his willpower was far superior to that of his opponents. .

The worse the weather, the greater his chances of winning.

This was Susumu Fujita's plan for the past few days, but what Susumu Fujita didn't expect was that before the planned feast even started, a 'blowfly' came into the hall. If it doesn't bite you, it's just disgusting. .

For five consecutive days, there have been constant attacks, most of which occurred at night.

And it's basically the same. A Chinese super sharpshooter is wandering outside each camp, looking for various valuable and worthless targets.

To put it bluntly, no matter you are a private, second lieutenant, lieutenant, or captain, as long as you dare to expose the target in the dark, the Chinese sharpshooters will shoot you from a long distance.

The key point is that his marksmanship is ridiculously accurate, and there are almost no survivors from his shots.

It would be okay if he died, but it would be better to spend some firewood and burn it to ashes. The most terrifying thing is the kind that is temporarily injured but does not die.

It's just that the 7.92 caliber rifle bullet should have been specially modified to create an empty wound the size of a tea cup in the human body. The blood loss caused by the huge wound can kill a person to death.

Even if there are those who are lucky enough to survive, the wound infection rate is 100%. Today, when there is no specific drug for bacterial infection, military doctors can only watch in despair as the wounded who were finally rescued die in painful wails.

In five days, as many as 242 officers and soldiers of the Third Division died in this secret attack, an average of nearly 50 per day.

Meaning that while Susumu Fujita was still silently preparing for his ultimate move, the Third Division was losing an infantry squad every day.

If we continue at this rate, we won't need three months. Good guy, the Third Division can be renamed the Third Brigade.

Faced with this devastating harassment, the Japanese army did not respond. They either dispatched military dogs and a search team of more than a hundred people to track them down, or they also quietly ambush sharpshooters around the camp, intending to use accurate targets to forcefully attack them. powerful.

However, the opponent's cunning and ferocity far exceeded the Japanese army's imagination!

The 242 casualties were mainly caused by this. Only about one-fifth of those who actually died in the camp were killed by Chinese snipers.

There seems to be a situation where you lie down and let me kill you. I can't kill a few, but if you resist, then I'll be really excited.

The sharpshooters who ambush the surroundings in advance were either quietly killed by the Chinese who were lurking here, or were killed with one shot during the exchange of fire, which shows the fact that there is also a huge power gap among the sharpshooters.

The search team composed of military dogs and soldiers is even more miserable!

Even if a military dog was guided in the wrong direction by a special drug and led a search team into a minefield, it would still be fine. As long as it stayed hidden and allowed the sharpshooters hiding in the darkness to shoot and kill those who dared to show their heads, this kind of shrinking flow would survive. If daybreak or reinforcements arrive, at least 70% of the 100 people will survive.

This is the real experience of two consecutive search teams, and their losses are still within acceptable limits.

But if the military dog seems to be going crazy and leads the search team to the enemy's carefully arranged encirclement, then it is really doomed.

There is not just one Chinese hiding in this mountain, there are at least nearly a hundred, and they are well-equipped.

What's even worse is that their ammunition seems to be inexhaustible!

No less than 4,000 submachine gun and rifle shell casings were recovered from just one battlefield where the search team was attacked.

In less than 10 minutes of fighting, no more than two infantry squads can fire more than 4,000 rounds of bullets and more than a hundred grenades. This is a firepower output capability that the Imperial Japanese Army could never dream of.

But the poor Chinese people miraculously did it.

Of course the Japanese army would not know that for this operation, Tang Dao had transferred 30 submachine guns and 50 shell guns from the equipment of the new Sichuan Army Corps to supplement the guard platoon and engineer squad. In addition to the original equipment of the guard platoon, each person was equipped with The two guns and bullets were prepared according to the standard of 800 rounds per person, and they brought 1,000 grenades, an average of 15 per person!

Just transporting and storing this batch of ammunition took a lot of effort from the 60 people crossing the river!

Fortunately, the two middle-aged fishermen who came with the soldiers were so familiar with the local terrain that they could walk with their eyes closed. They had their own place to hide the supplies. It was like a secret arsenal. They used the night to get more supplies.

Because the ammunition was provided by Tang Dao from the Sichuan Army's new regiments, the Major General Brigadier did not know, otherwise he would have guessed that Tang Dao had already been formed with one strike and stayed on the other side of the river to hide and seek with the Japanese army. .

It is this batch of ammunition stored in advance that gives Tang Dao enough confidence. As long as he dares to chase you alone, I will dare to give you a hard blow on the head.

Two hundred-man search teams suffered disaster just like this. They were attacked by a large number of continuous firepower in a very short period of time. In the darkness, the precise shooting skills of the Japanese veterans could not be used at all, so they could only Is trying to hide it.

But in addition to submachine guns, the Chinese also have a large number of grenades. In each round, more than a dozen grenades are thrown from high places. At least ten rounds of throwing total more than a hundred grenades, just like being fired by a small-caliber mortar salvo.

Tree trunks and rocks can stop bullets, but they can't stop this kind of flying shrapnel!

In comparison, the four light machine guns and four grenade launchers carried by the infantry squad-level search team were as powerless as a little baby waving a plastic sword at a big man with a grin on his face!

Had the Chinese not known that the battle should not last too long, and each wave of attacks would only last about 10 minutes at most before evacuating, the battle damage rate of the two search teams would never have been less than 70%.

Susumu Fujita had to issue an order requiring all ministries not to send less than one infantry squadron when pursuing the Chinese. But how easy is this?

The Third Division stationed in the Fenglingdu area has three infantry regiments, a reinforced artillery regiment, as well as cavalry, baggage troops, engineers, field hospitals and other units, with a total strength of more than 20,000 people.

The Third Division is like a giant beast. No matter how powerful the enemy is, it can poke out its huge mouth and devour it. However, the Chinese are like mosquitoes and flies that can penetrate every hole. They will jump up and take a sip when they see the opportunity. Blood, fleeing before the giant beast's tail swung up.

It does not mean that every unit has as many infantry as an infantry regiment. For example, each artillery squadron only has an infantry squadron to protect it. If this only infantry squadron is sent out, the technical soldiers who do not have many guns will be afraid. !

The engineers and soldiers are even more helpless. They are currently working hard to cut down wood and build large platoons. Their combat effectiveness is average. When encountering such "rascal" Chinese, not to mention 200 or 400 people, they feel that they are in danger.

No, on the sixth day, the Chinese really began to target these auxiliary troops who were already less capable.

The first thing that was unlucky was the Engineer Regiment, which was afraid of what would happen. Their large "wood factory" located in the valley by the river bank was so conspicuous that they themselves felt that it would be wrong if the Chinese did not come and mess with them.

After six days of 'waiting', the Chinese finally arrived.

Two consecutive large 'incendiary bombs' flew over from a position of about 150 meters and exploded in the area of the rafts placed in the open space. The fierce fire burned rapidly, even the engineers who were sleeping in the trenches had already reacted. Soon, the fire caused by the incendiary bombs with unknown incendiary agent still burned six or seven rafts.

But this is only half a day's workload of the engineer wing. Compared with the loss of personnel, these are acceptable.

The happiest thing is the infantry brigade stationed around the Engineer Regiment. They were ordered to station themselves at three camps 500 meters away from the Engineer Regiment three days ago. On the surface, it appears to be strengthening the defense of the Engineer Regiment. In fact, it is It's just that I had to hold back all my energy to swat flies.

Three capable infantry squadrons have been familiar with the terrain here a dozen times a few days ago, and each has its own division of labor. Once a situation occurs on the infantry wing, each infantry squadron will immediately know where to go.

　　To put it bluntly, the booming "timber factory" built by the Engineer Regiment is just a bait. The three infantry squadrons are fishermen waiting for the fish to take the bait. There will also be three hidden searchlights and a large number of flares to guide them.

It can be said that "everything is ready, all we need is the east wind", and then the Chinese really appeared.

The Japanese army responded quickly. Almost 30 seconds after the explosion, three large hidden searchlights and nearly 10 illumination bombs were fired at the mountains hundreds of meters away, illuminating the dark night.

However, the mountains are still quiet, as if the two incendiary bombs appeared automatically!

The three infantry squadrons who arrived on the run quickly completed the siege of this area. It took nearly two hours to search the mountains and forests in this area. Even the mouse holes were poked with bayonets. Pheasants and rabbits were not visible. Few, but no one was seen.

Their only achievement is to find the Chinese's 'committing tool'!

It was something similar to a catapult or a slingshot, and a piece of thread that was almost completely burned was found next to the 'committing tool'.

The infantry captain thought hard and finally figured out the Chinese tactics.

He used the darkness of night to lurk into the mountain forest, then installed the launching device, ignited the fuse made of unknown bark, and burned it long enough for the perpetrator to escape safely. Then he burned out the switch that locked the firing device, and then burned the The bomb was thrown into the position more than 100 meters away like a stone.

This is simply making the attack out of control!

“Baga! The Chinese are cunning and cunning!” The Japanese major who wanted to understand, apart from angrily spitting out this curse from the island country, was actually more powerless.

The mountains and forests are so vast. Unless he leaves his three infantry squadrons squatting sleeplessly in the mountains and forests, how can he prevent the cunning Chinese from doing this?

Of course, fortunately for the Japanese major, this 'launching' device is very simple. At most, it can throw an incendiary bomb of less than two kilograms a hundred meters away. This will cause loss of items at most and will not cause much damage.

From the perspective of modern warfare, this ancient device with no accuracy at all has no tactical effect and can only be regarded as a scaring toy at best.

If the Chinese were really crazy enough to create a device that could throw objects weighing more than ten kilograms, such as explosive packets, into the station from hundreds of meters away, that would be terrible. Fortunately, the Chinese machine manufacturing The industry does not support it.

It can only be said that this Japanese army major has never experienced the Internet era and does not know the sequelae of planting flags. Those who plant flags often end up being riddled with holes by the flags they planted.

Mingxin, who had just escaped from this area to the safe area, looked into the distance, looking forward to what kind of big work Tang Tuanzuo could do on the wooden 'cannon barrel'.

His two small slingshots only shot out a grenade and a Molotov cocktail made by Tang Tuanzuo himself. Their biggest function was to tease the Japanese who were already waiting for them. They had been prepared for it a long time ago! Then you can get what you want and toss in the mountains. How many rafts can be burned is the second best.

Of course, the more important purpose is to attract the attention of the Japanese army and reduce the vigilance of the Japanese army in other areas.

The main purpose of Mingxin's appearance at the Japanese Army Engineer Regiment's station was to attack the east and the west.

When they heard that the Engineer Regiment had been attacked, all the units in the Third Division secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Based on the characteristics of the Chinese attacks in the past few days, they usually only launch attacks on a selected target.

After all, the visibility is not good at night, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the Chinese are not small planes. They can go wherever they want.

The Engineer Regiment has become a target, will other stations be safe?

The mentality of "a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist" is quite normal on the battlefield.

For example, Major Takeo Yonekura of the First Squadron of the Baggage Regiment, after receiving the notification call, he smoked a cigarette very excitedly, and then lay down happily on the camp bed to get a peaceful sleep.

There are also many officers of the 28th Division who are not sleeping like the Japanese Army Major on the other side, such as Brigadier Hu. In recent days, he can sleep peacefully only when he hears reports from observation posts about faint explosions on the other side in the past few days.

It's not that he was happy because the Japanese army was attacked, but it meant that Tang Dao, a worrying guy, was still alive and well.

It's not that Tang Dao is so cute, but that Tang Dao's life and death have been bound to his military exploits. If Tang Dao is alive, it is already a certainty that he will be a first-class treasure tripod. Tang Dao will be a calf, let alone a treasure tripod. His loyalty and bravery are enough. Then Who can bear it?

"Is there nothing happening on the other side today?" Brigadier Hu Da asked his orderly anxiously.

The orderlies outside the field headquarters could only report in a low voice with a speechless face.

He didn't know what his commander was like. He had already asked the same question for the fifth time in an hour. Maybe Captain Tang wanted to give himself a day off and not play with the Japanese?

There are no more than one hand in the entire 28th Division who know that Tang Dao is leading his troops to the other side of the river. However, as a personal servant of the brigade commander, he and the boss have already been in a relationship of prosperity and loss. This kind of top secret is naturally not allowed. I'll hide it from him.

These days, the servicemen have long regarded Tang Dao as a god-like figure. Not only did they cross the river alone and blow up the Japanese forts, but they didn't even leave. They used the mountainous terrain to start a guerrilla war with 20,000 Japanese troops. How awesome is this? Psychological quality and tactical literacy.

Therefore, Brigadier Hu Da was so worried that he could not sleep, but the young orderly thought that Tang Tuanzu just wanted to take a rest, but he did not dare to share this kind of psychological activity with his parents.

Then, there was a flash of light in the darkness on the other side, and after a few seconds, there was a loud "boom".

“Damn it! Don't you idiot Tang Dao kill another Japanese fort?” Alarmed by the noise, Brigadier Hu Da got out of the headquarters bunker at the front and opened his mouth so wide that he could swallow a hippopotamus.

Tang Tuanzuo is really an iron man. He doesn't even take a rest all night. If he keeps doing this, will the little devil not be able to bear it? I really want to go **** the Japanese with Tang Tuanzuo!

The little fan of Tang Dao in the trench sighed with a matter-of-fact expression.
