Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 1248

The livid-faced Japanese Army Colonel was stunned for 30 seconds, still looking at the front of the canyon in an almost frozen posture.

The gunshots coming from the distant canyon had proven that the Four Troops appeared in a way he least expected. They did not run away, but actually hid on the nearby mountain ridge and began to move towards the canyon. The Imperial Warriors within launched an attack.

　　The familiar gunshots of San Ba Da Gai indicate that the Imperial warriors are fighting back heroically.

But the rumble of explosions coming from the distance also shows that the Chinese have invested heavy firepower that cannot be ignored.

However, under the angry and painful emotions, there is still an element of joy.

After all, the more than 5,000 troops under his command only entered half of the canyon, and that was all because of his caution.

The Japanese Army Colonel knew very well that it was not that the Chinese did not have enough appetite to launch an attack before his entire army entered Heilonggou, but that the queues of the two infantry brigades were spread far enough apart. His military order was to build field fortifications at the entrance of the valley to prevent a sneak attack. The four-line regiment would definitely wait until everyone else entered the canyon before launching an attack.

He still has a chance to make up for his mistakes. Even if most of the main infantry regiment is at a disadvantage in the canyon terrain, there are still more than 2,000 people left outside the canyon.

In addition, he also has a mountain artillery squadron and artillery support from further distances. The Four Lines Regiment will definitely pay a sufficient price for its unwiseness.

This time, he must kill all the Chinese who were daring to take military risks and the Chinese mountain people who served as their guides.

With Oshima Masayoshi's mind, he could not have imagined how the four groups, who also came from afar, could move accurately in this mountain that was also unfamiliar to them without local villagers as guides.

Oshima Masayoshi, whose eyes suddenly turned gloomy, still sat firmly on his tall blue-grey horse and gave a stern order: "Order Major Yoshino Hideo who has passed through the valley mouth to break through the Chinese blocking position with all his strength, and leave one behind after defeating them. The infantry squadron defended the entrance of the valley, while the rest attacked the enemy on the ridges of the valley;

Order Major Hiroki Furui to lead his troops to advance at full speed and not to fight with the enemy troops above the canyon. The remaining troops who have not entered the canyon should use all their strength to seize the commanding heights and defeat the invading enemies as quickly as possible. "

General Oshima Masayoshi, who was brave as a soldier and did not show any panic, stabilized the panic-stricken Japanese army.

The communication soldiers under Oshima Masayoshi ran around frantically. Several signal soldiers also set up field radios. They would convey Oshima Masayoshi's military orders to various ministries in the shortest possible time.

"Boom!" A loud noise rang in the ears of Oshima Masayi. The huge explosion shocked the big green horse that had been on the battlefield under Oshima Masayi and raised its front hooves high, almost losing its grip. The Japanese Army Colonel fell off his horse.

Oshima Masayoshi looked at the mountain with disbelief, less than a mile away from the entrance of the valley. A thick cloud of gunpowder smoke was rising from the top of the mountain.

The Japanese Army Colonel knew whether that was the location of the mountain artillery squadron directly under his 11th Infantry Regiment, or whether he had given a military order for them to transport the artillery to that commanding height in order to provide fire cover for the imperial officers and soldiers crossing the canyon.

At the top of the mountain with an altitude of 800 meters, four 75mm mountain guns are enough to bring all the highlands on both sides of Heilonggou into the attack range of the mountain guns.

But why was there such a violent explosion?

Yes, in the world that the Japanese Army Colonel can understand, it can only be an explosion rather than a shelling. If it is a shelling, unless it is a heavy artillery of more than 200 mm, but that thing is considered an important weapon in the empire, how can the Chinese have?

But the intense gunfire that followed made the Japanese army commander no longer have to wonder. There were Chinese people there. No matter how they did it, they were also responsible for the thick smoke.

"Baga! Order the 3rd Infantry Brigade to fully support the artillery squadron directly under the regiment!" Oshima Masayoshi's face finally couldn't hide the panic.

Although the detachment still has 12 mountain guns in the rear and 8 105 howitzers further away, coordinates are needed for shelling.

Bombarding the Black Dragon Pond area is easy to do. You only need to give a rough direction. You can set up the cannon and blast it hard. What you need is a probability.

But the battlefield in front of us can be spread over several kilometers of mountainous land. Not only do the artillery coordinates have to be recalculated, but the area is so vast that it is difficult for two artillery positions to quickly support the places where they are most needed.

The four mountain cannons are the most convenient weapon in the hands of Oshima Masayoshi. If these are gone, it will be difficult to form a heavy fire attack on the mountain ridge and the Chinese position at the mouth of the valley within 30 minutes.

But this is not the biggest reason for Oshima Masayoshi's panic.

Instead, the commander of the Fourth Line Regiment was as bold as a soldier, and even inserted his troops near his headquarters. Although this kind of insertion was extremely dangerous, it could easily kill the subordinates who implemented the insertion, but if it succeeded, it would be as if A stab in the chest is heart-wrenching, a stroke of genius.

Although it is dangerous, it is absolutely impossible!

This is the first time in his twenty-year military career that his sword has gone as far as possible!

Tang Li lived up to Leng Feng's expectations of him. After the general attack signal was sent, he could order the mortars hidden in the mountains and forests to fire, and without hesitation, he led two infantry companies to launch a charge against the Japanese army in front of him.

Because the range of the mortar was so close, it took less than 3 seconds from the whistling sound to the landing explosion. The Japanese army who had just heard the strange whistling sound had not yet reacted. The large 38-kilogram artillery shell hit the Japanese infantry squadron that was lining up down the mountain. There was an explosion about 20 meters away. The air wave far exceeded the power of the 105 howitzer shells and directly flew away nearly 30 Japanese soldiers. In addition, more than 20 Japanese soldiers were hit by shrapnel.

With almost one shot, a Japanese infantry squad was wiped out.

The Japanese infantry who were not affected but whose eardrums were about to be shattered by the huge explosion instinctively fell to the ground. Then, they saw countless dark blue colors rushing out of the mountain forest.

Yes, there was no fire probing or fire suppression. Hundreds of Chinese soldiers just held their guns and ran at full speed under the cover of various firepower points of heavy machine guns and light machine guns deployed on both wings.

Tang Li knew that his task was to kill the four mountain cannons as quickly as possible, and then block them on the spot, holding back the Japanese troops who were about to be reinforced, and reducing the pressure on Heilonggou and Heilongtan.

The temporary field position that the Japanese infantry just left is the best position. He must move in before Japanese reinforcements arrive.

At this moment, time is more precious than life!

quick! quick! Faster!

The six light machine guns of the Japanese infantry squadron began roaring 10 seconds later, and the terrifying "tdda" sound resounded through the mountains and forests.

At least 10 Chinese soldiers fell down with blood splattered everywhere, but this time no one looked down at the condition of their comrades. They all continued to move forward without hesitation.

Before the war, the infantry company commander told all his platoon commanders that when the charge horn sounded, everyone had only one position, move forward!

Including their two company commanders, no matter whether they are killed or injured in battle, there is no need to worry!

The five hundred infantrymen faithfully carried out Tang Li's military orders. Two second lieutenant platoon leaders died in this battle known as the "Desperate Charge" because they did not receive timely treatment.

Fortunately, the large shells of the mortar were loaded again and the cannon was fired again.

A cloud of smoke rose 60 meters away from the previous explosion point!

As far as accuracy is concerned, the main purpose of this artillery is to hit whatever comes your way.

But just like that, the elite soldiers of the Fifth Division are even more miserable, because all battlefield experience is useless in the face of such aimless shells. Whether they can avoid such shells depends on their fate!

The lives of several Japanese machine gun shooters were not good. At least two Type 96 light machine guns and their shooters were blown into parts and debris flying in the sky by large artillery shells that fell less than 10 meters away from them.

Compared with the powerful mortars that frightened the Japanese army, the 60-guns equipped in the infantry companies played a more important role. As the prostrate Japanese army began to counterattack, nine 60-guns were deployed less than 500 meters behind. Quickly counterattack the Japanese firepower points.

The artillery shells poured down like raindrops towards the Japanese firepower point. In less than 10 seconds, the only four remaining Type 96 light machine guns of the Japanese army completely misfired.

Having lost the firepower to suppress the enemy in the charge, the Japanese infantry relied only on their bolt-fired Type 38 rifles and could no longer stop the powerful charge of hundreds of Chinese soldiers.

Seeing that the Chinese soldiers had rushed within a hundred meters, "Kill!" the Japanese infantry squadron leader roared desperately and ordered the Japanese soldiers to fix their bayonets.

Hand-to-hand combat is the moment when the Japanese army shows off their martial prowess, and it is also their most effective way to break the courage of their opponents!

At such a moment, the Fifth Division has not yet been broken up but has to fight to the death. The Fifth Division can indeed be regarded as the best among the best. However, the opponents they faced this time could be described as crushing and beating them in terms of light firepower.

Two infantry companies seemed to be rushing over the mountains and plains, but in fact hundreds of officers and soldiers still maintained the three-three attack method. The soldiers serving as arrows in each infantry squad were equipped with semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns.

When they reached a distance of 40 meters, these semi-automatic and fully automatic firearms opened fire at full speed in the face of the Japanese troops who stood up with their bayonets inserted and began to accelerate.

After emptying the bullets, retreat immediately. The spearmen from behind will follow up on the bayonet fight.

However, after experiencing this hail of bullets, the number of Japanese troops who could still stand was only in single digits.

Facing the surging gunfire, but he is alone, his comrades around him have fallen to the ground, even the most tenacious soldier will feel despair!

But what is even more desperate is that even if he continues to press forward with the mentality of fighting for one to make up for his capital and fighting for two to earn one, the Chinese soldiers will not give him a chance.

“Bang bang bang!” There was a burst of shooting.

The last Japanese soldier fell on the ground.

From the time the first mortar shell was fired to the end of the entire infantry squadron, it was less than 2 minutes!

This may also be the first time in the entire history of the Sino-Japanese war. It is certain that it will be unprecedented, and it is also very possible that it will be unprecedented.

Even Tang Tuanzuo was stunned by the masterpiece of his subordinates after seeing this battle report.

Of course, this may be crucially related to the fact that the Japanese army was unprepared and had no positions at the time, as well as the exaggerated lethality of the mortars, but the unrelenting charge of hundreds of soldiers of the Fourth Army was also the decisive factor in achieving this miracle. No one can deny it.

More than 200 Japanese artillerymen, less than 200 meters away, watched this incredible scene almost dumbfounded and did nothing.

　　Yes, it may be an exaggeration to say that nothing has been done. At least 80% of the people chose to crawl when the air wave swept over them.

Then, there is no more action!

Then, they watched helplessly as the ferocious Chinese soldiers rushed in front of the infantry squadron and shot them all like lambs waiting to be slaughtered!

Then, those devil-like Chinese soldiers aimed their guns at them.

run! Be their only option.

How can a human being outrun bullets, especially in front of a group of Chinese soldiers who have already killed red eyes and the muzzles of their guns are already hot?

More than 170 Japanese artillerymen were shot and killed indiscriminately, and all the frightened packhorses running around were mercilessly killed. The parts of the four mountain cannons that had just been disassembled became trophies of the Chinese.

But this time, the two infantry companies did not treat these mountain cannons as trophies like treasures, but placed them on the position as temporary firepower points.

The Japanese 75-caliber mountain artillery is no longer a rarity, and it is no longer worth the Chinese soldiers' precious lives for this crap.

When a Japanese infantry brigade arrived, they were greeted by artillery shells and bullets.

Two infantry companies have already established the simplest blocking position on this high ground! And all of this happened only 15 minutes after Leng Feng ordered the general attack.

Oshima Masayoshi had already lost a mountain artillery squadron and an infantry squadron, plus an infantry brigade was firmly contained.

But this was naturally not all the Japanese losses in the Battle of Heilonggou.

The Japanese troops outside the canyon may not have enough brains, but they definitely obeyed the orders. After receiving the military orders, they immediately climbed up the mountains on both sides desperately.

It's just that the terrain of Heilonggou is too special. There are many places with straight cliffs. Not to mention people, even monkeys have to shout MMP when they come!

There are really not many areas where you can climb to high places, but they are highlands. By occupying the highlands, you will not be passively attacked, but you can also attack the enemy.

The Japanese troops climbing the narrow mountain were so densely packed that from a distance they looked like a bunch of yellow ants.

It is a pity that there is an artillery company equipped with machine guns, howitzers, and 12.7 mm heavy machine guns in charge of the Heilonggou battlefield, and there are also 9 60-guns equipped by the infantry company.

The task of these heavy firepower is to use firepower to attack these key areas that have already been circled.

In other words, it was actually a trap that Shangguan Yun had set for them. He was sure that the Japanese army would climb up from here in an attempt to occupy the high ground.

　　From the moment the shells fell, Colonel Oshima Masayoshi, who had been helped off his horse and hid in a depression by his subordinates, turned ugly. How many artillery pieces are the **** Chinese equipped with?

Why do I feel like there are these "dong dong dong" mortars everywhere?

If all the Chinese troops have such equipment, how can these **** be a fool? You can't win at all!

As the artillerymen of the Fourth Line Regiment began to pour their firepower on the Japanese infantry, Shi Hao's infantry company and a 300-man baggage platoon, totaling 600 people, also began their own rush.

Yes, out of the need for concealment, the infantrymen of the Four Lines Regiment deployed in the Heilonggou area all hid in ditches or bushes or among the woods 500 meters away from the Japanese troops on the mountain road.

The steep mountains in the Heilonggou area are a good place to beat people from a high position, but you cannot hide there. The vegetation on the mountain ridge is too shallow and it is too difficult to hide your body. If the Japanese army were a little more cautious and sent out soldiers to search along the way, they would The figure of the ambush soldier was discovered.

When the attack signal flares were fired, all they had to do was run, run as hard as they could, to get ahead of the devils and occupy the most advantageous attack position.

Although the communications of the Japanese army are not as good as those of Western countries, they are much better than those of China at this time. Field radios are equipped at the infantry brigade level.

Since they need to pass through the canyon, the two infantry brigade radios that have entered the canyon are required to turn on their radios so that they can report road conditions to the rear at any time.

Even before they received the military order from Colonel Masayoshi Oshima, all the Japanese infantry in the canyon, including the two majors riding tall horses, had already started the last phase of their lives by stepping up their short legs without hesitation.

　　It would be really ugly to be attacked in this poor place.

Let alone someone raining down bullets, even throwing some rocks can kill people alive.

Those who are not immersed in the canyon may find it difficult to understand the mood of the people in the canyon, including Oshima Masayoshi himself.

Only when he enters the canyon himself will he probably know that his special order not to engage in so-called fights with the Chinese is a complete joke.

If you have to make one more beep to prevent everyone from trembling, then it is probably more accurate. (End of chapter)
